Lagos Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operator, Primero Transport Services Limited, said it will roll out 50 more buses before the end of the year, to reduce the waiting time of commuters at bus stops in the state.
The Managing Director of the firm, Mr. Fola Tinubu, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Thursday that the firm was committed to making life easier for commuters.
According to him, the firm engages 300 buses daily to serve residents of the state in ensuring that they reach their destinations on time. He said efforts were, however, being made to improve the services and that part of such efforts was to increase the number of buses engaged from 300 to 350 daily.
“We move an average of 150,000 passengers in Lagos daily, and we intend to increase that to 200,000 daily. We roll out 300 buses each day, and we intend to add another 50 buses to make life easier for people. We have done a lot in fulfilling the goals of the scheme and we are constantly working to improve our services. We will not fail or disappoint the teeming commuters in Lagos who rely on our services,” Tinubu said
