BRT (Bus Rapid Transit)
In order to ease movement of commuters during the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, Lagos State Government is offering residents free bus ride today.
Commuters along the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route will enjoy free ride from Mile 12 to CMS while those on the Bus Franchise Scheme (BFS) will ride free on Ikotun-Igando-Iyana-Ipaja-Ikeja.
Managing Director of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Dayo Mobereola, in a statement urged Nigerians to do everything in moderation during the holiday period and ensure that accidents do not occur on the roads.
He called on all to use the holiday to reflect on the current security challenges in the country and pray for its quick resolution.
Mobereola also called for prayer for safe return of the Chibok girls abducted over 100 days ago as well as the prosperity and development of the country.
Mobereola called on Lagosians to be vigilant in their environment and be security and safety conscious.
He said any suspicious movement or activity by any person or group of persons should not be ignored but be reported to the security agencies for necessary actions.
As a public transport planning, franchising and implementation agency of Lagos State, Mobereola said LAMATA remains committed to promoting the achievement of an integrated multi- modal transport system in the state.
He urged the public to keep faith with the government in all its transport projects tomake life and movement easier for all Lagos residents.
