BRT operator gives reason for queues at Ikorodu bus stations
Jun 1, 2020
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the BRT operator had on Thursday announced an upward review of transport fares across all routes with effect for May 29 to meet up with current challenges.
The BRT operator had earlier withdrawn its services from May 25 over losses occasioned by COVID-19 new transport guidelines that mandated it to commute only 20 passengers per trip instead of 70.
The firm resumed operation on Friday morning with a new fare regime, promising to roll out 320 buses to end long queues and wait time its bus stations.
“ We will be back in full operations and will put 320 buses out to make sure people get to destinations in time and safely.
“We will ensure that going forward, the wait time and queues at bus stations is reduced,” Mr Fola Tinubu , the Managing Director of Primero Transport Services Ltd, had assured.
Meanwhile, on Monday morning, NAN correspondent observed queues at Ikorodu Bus Station with commuters complaining that they were yet to see reduction in waiting time at BRT bus stations.
Reacting on the queues, Tinubu told NAN that while the firm rolled out 305 buses on Monday to commute people to their destinations, blockage of BRT corridor by other traffic affected turnover of buses.
“ The queues was caused by traffic blocking our corridor this morning. When the task force showed up and freed our buses, there was no more queue after that.
