The Lagos state government has unveiled new modern buses it wants to
use to replace and phase out danfo and molues in the state. The new
buses are expected to be cheaper and durable and the government advised
danfo bus owners to key into the project now before it is too late.
The commissioner for transportation, Dr. Dayo
Mobereola said the scheme would see to the introduction of higher
capacity buses that would have 30 seats as opposed to 14/18 seats, while
the buses would be Eco – friendly, air-conditioned, comfortable,
support for maintenance and backed by appropriate workshop which creates
jobs
Mobereola said with the introduction of the new mode of
transportation, danfo buses would be displaced economically as Lagosians
would be left to choose between very cheaper means of transportation
and expensive danfos.
The commissioner said Lagosians would rather queue up to board buses
at cheaper rate than what the danfos would offer, thus, displacing them
economically, adding that some of the existing danfo drivers had already
keyed into the project. He said the National Union of Road Transport
Workers had already given government its support for the project,
