The Lagos State Government has terminated
operations of the first BRT cooperative run by
the National Union of Road Transport Workers
from the Mile12 to CMS BRT corridor with
immediate effect.
This is contained in a statement u by the
state’s Commissioner for Transportation, Dayo
Mobereola, on Thursday in Lagos.
The commissioner said the government’s
decision had been communicated to the
operator on Thursday.
Mobereola said the decision was premised on
the inability of the operator to offer good public
transport services to commuters on the all-
important BRT corridor.
According to him, this has led to incessant
complaints by members of the public over poor
services provided by the operator.
He said the state government was against the
non-operation of stipulated frequency schedules
and operation of buses below 50 per cent fleet
capacity contrary to the agreement.
Mobereola also stated that the breaches which
the operator had indulged in and failed to
remedy despite being notified prompted the
government’s decision.
The notice of termination of franchise
agreement was followed by series of meetings
where government maintained its position on
the need for the operator to vacate the corridor
