1.6 Million Vehicles Ply Lagos Roads Daily – Transport Commissioner by AutoJoshNG: 11:46am On Aug 30, 2019


The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Frederic Oladeinde has declared that over 1.6 million vehicles ply Lagos roads daily and outlined government’s strategies to tackle the effects of high-volume traffic across the State.

Speaking at the 2019 Nigerian Bar Association General Conference in Lagos, Oladeinde revealed that among the 1.6 million vehicles, 226 cars runLagos roads per km compared to the National average of 16 cars per km.

He analysed further that 75,000 commercial ‘Danfo’ buses in Lagos currently cater for about 10,000 public-passenger trips per day while an average of 12,000 public transport trips are generated daily.

The Transport Commissioner opined that the high-volume traffic situation could be addressed through economic, social and environmental strategies, saying that adoption of these strategies simultaneously will reduce delays, improve travel time for business and movement of goods, improve safety, security, social inclusion and quality of life.

He further outlined the strategies that will be adopted to reduce traffic congestion which include the implementation of the Lagos Traffic Law, improvement of 60 noted key junctions through effective deployment of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) officers and the continuous fixing of the potholes, amongst others.

He added that the multimodal transport policy of the State will also include the completion of the Blue and Red Line Mass Transport movement, development of strategic roads such as the completion of Lagos–Badagry Expressway and completion of Agric–Isawo Road to link Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.

While affirming that the ongoing water transportation reforms will not be abandoned, he also noted that plans are afoot to reorganise the water transport operators as well as create economically viable routes and terminals.

The Commissioner said that in line with the bus reform initiative, an additional 820 high and medium capacity buses will be released to enhance public transportation on eight major existing bus routes for better commuting experience by 2021.

He expressed optimism that with all these strategies well developed and managed, there will be an ultimate reduction in travel time, air pollution, waiting time and an increase in job creation.

Staking on two odds of the same bet is the best way to bet. It is called sure betting. It works on the Over/Under markets Or any game that has two options. You win nomata the outcome.. it works by comparing odds of two different betting websites.. you will see some betting companies has more bigger odds than the other then take advantage of it by placing one on one site and the other odd on the other site. it's a secrete no one will tell you. Try it today and change your life. God bless you. Feel free to ask me any question you wish to ask I will guide you through.

Meanwhile, some vehicles don't ply the roads cos the owners use commercial transport. The lying idiot called Peter Obi said there are 2 Million vehicles in Nigeria.

What is the point of having these facts and figures and still unable to provide alternative means of transportation?

If these facts and figures are true and not made up, then the government should have used the data to improve the traffic problems in Lagos.

People can talk but when it comes to actions, then chicken out. Reduce the need for people to use road transportation and see how the pressure will be taken off our roads. Less vehicles on the road and less potholes and what have you.

Public transport is not safe and comfortable to go with. Most prefers driving their own vehicle. The Mega city LASG has been shouting up and down should start reflecting on the transportation system.
