Following the OkadaBan across lagos Metropolis, Lagosians have had to resort to the use of Danfo buses as well as other means of transportation to commute from one place to another.
Not only has traffic increased on the streets of Lagos, a ride through the city will reveal how difficult it has been for people to find transport, crowded bus stops and also several lagosians trekking to their different destinations.
There have been reports of danfo drivers increasing fees, knowing commuters have no choice but to submit to the ridiculous fares.
That’s why, Punch reports, MC Oluomo, the National Union of Road Transport Workers, Lagos State Chapter, has warned drivers against increasing fares following the OkadaBan in the state. Anyone caught increasing fares will be punished according to the rules of the union. He further stated that:
The union is also working assiduously with investors to inject more buses and increase the number of commercial vehicles in the metropolis to ease the hardship faced as a result of the ban.
“We advise both the commercial drivers and Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria and Motorcycle Operators Association of Lagos to be patient and cooperate with Lagos State Traffic Management Authority officials, obey traffic law.
“It’s an offense to drive on BRT lanes or drive against traffic. Obey the traffic laws and regulations, comport yourself orderly.
