At times the Lagos state government may be slow in fulfilling some of its promises but we have learned and studied them that though it may take some time to actualize the promise, it will surely happen. The Lagos State governor definitely deserves some accolades as the new first set of brand new buses for the Lagos Bus Reform Initiative have arrived.

The Lagos state governor was quoted in April saying that the proposed Bus Reform Initiative aimed at giving Lagosians an integrated public transportation system would kick-start this year with a sinking fund of N30billion.

Governor Ambode, who spoke to journalists, said his administration had identified the challenges Lagosians go through on a daily basis commuting via public transportation, saying the reform was aimed at providing a viable alternative.

He said the Bus Reform Initiative is a three-year plan aimed at introducing over 5000 air-conditioned buses to replace the yellow commercial buses, popularly called Danfo, which according to him, was no longer befitting for the State’s mega city status.

“We decided that the best thing is to allow the yellow buses go and so the Bus Reform Initiative itself is a three-year plan of 2017 to 2019 in which it intends to bring in new buses of 5,000 units in the three-year plan.

“The bigger size buses will take 70 people and then the medium range buses will take 30 people. We believe that the middle range buses will be supplied up to 70 per cent of the total volume which will amount to about 3,600 units and then the longer range in that direction,” he said.

These buses were spotted at the newly commission Ikeja Bus Terminal and they are so lovely to behold.

The question is, Hope these buses won't go down the lane like the BRT buses that are more like a death trap? Time will tell.

Who then has the right to use the BRT lane ?

This is the only Governor that I know is working.. the day I return to Lagos I may not recognize it anymore..

Good initiative.

Lagos landlords should brace up for battle with his Danfo/conductor tenant.Una banned Okada and now Danfo. Amu robbery loading

If it's the Lagos I know, crime rate is about to increase by 5000%

Nice one but i don't think danfo should be phased out.

Maintenance coy should start submitting proposals now! If you know, you know!

All danfo owners should be given these new buses for free since govt wants to phase their own out

Wallahi, the spate of armed-robbery in Lagos is about to sky-rocket by 2000% if nothing is done for these Danfo drivers/conductors because they too have families at home.

You banned okada & now you're banning Danfo simply because you want to turn Lagos to London overnight without putting all the necessary infrastructures in place.

Nobody can ban Danfo in Lagos. Believe me, these newly acquired buses Won't stand the test of time.

The market will regulate it's self.

E-hailing came it, the yellow taxis are still in operation. for the end user, it will be a decision to eat beans or moi moi

there was no plan to ban danfo....the plan was to run the new buses alongside danfo,while the end user decide which to patronize

away from that,if one chance don do u or ur family before,or danfo don jam u for no reason,pass one way block u,run u off the road and every rubbish dey do,u won't even be fighting for them

they are a menace to d society

well,we can't build new airport road only for danfo to be plying the route na

It's about time..... Danfo's must be banned, they have become a nuisance........

Dis is another BRT na what's Ambode doing

Provision before prohibition!

What are the plans for all those Agbero.

I hope MC Oluomo has a stake in these new buses, for the change to be welcomed.

Lagos is really developing..

but I can see luxurious buses

mehn no more go slow straight journey from abule egba to oshodi...

Danfo go suffer am

I don't agree with your uber line..... Uber + public transport, are not on the same parallel.......

It's either uber or public transport, and not either or..... Depends on how much the rider places on convenience.....

You can't see your reflection in boiling water. Similarly, you can't see the truths in your life in a state of anger.

Lovely.
We don't appreciate what we have until we lose it.
Appreciate your family, tell them you love them.
Appreciate your friends, tell them you care.
Appreciate your God, tell Him he's God like no other.
I appreciate you.
Appreciate someone now.

it's actually Ambode & Fashola

Speakdatruth:
Dis is another BRT na what's Ambode doing

We have mass transit buses in Mega cities and not Danfo buses.

I support Gov Ambode 100%.

This would be implemented after the election

Nearing the end of agberos

Survival of the fittest. Anyway, it is a welcome development.
