PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM * Nigeria - One year on, complaints trail Lagos BRT scheme
Exactly one year after hitting the roads, commuters recount sad tales of waiting to board BRT vehicles
Lagos,Nigeria -Punch, by MIKE ODIEGWU -16 Mar 2009: -- When about 280 vehicles of the Bus Rapid Transit hit the Lagos roads last year, the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, a government parastatal, left no one in doubt that the scheme would offer high capacity services... Among other advantages of the scheme, LAMATA had said that the BRT would operate along major corridors of the metropolis and also offer fast and efficient fare collection services... Commuters who woke up early and besieged the bus stations complained of staying on long queues for hours... On Thursday, for instance, commuters grumbled over stretched queues in various termini of the BRT in the state... (Photo: BRT buses parked at Ketu Bus-Stop)Labels: public transport systems
