Lagos State Commissioner for Public Transportation, Kayode Opeifa, says that the state government had taken delivery of 90 new buses to ease the transportation difficulties facing the residents.
Opeifa told newsmen in Lagos that the state government acquired the buses for its Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) scheme.
He said that the new buses would soon be inaugurated.
He said that the Safest Way Transport Company in Agege and the Mutual Transports Company in Ejigbo/Ikotun had acquired 10 and 30 buses respectively, alongside 50 buses that were already acquired by the state.
Reacting to the commuters’ complaints about the poor condition of BRT buses, Opeifa attributed the slow pace of maintenance work on the buses to the dearth of spare parts.
Opeifa, however, expressed the state government’s commitment to putting in place a first-class transport system in the state so as to promote the people’s socio-economic activities.
