As a part of the state’s Bus Reform Initiative aimed at enhancing public commuting and better serving the residents of Lagos, the Lagos State Government has clarified it’s plans to ban Danfo and Korope buses along the Lekki-Epe corridor starting from October 1, 2024.
The initiative will give room to the introduction of mass transit buses for the Lekki-Epe corridor, only danfo buses that meet the standards of the Vehicle Inspection Service will operate as mid-capacity buses.
The primary goal of the Bus Reform Initiative is to restructure commercial bus operations, to provide a comfortable and efficient public transportation system for the residents.
Operators that breach the regulations will be fined and will forfeit their vehicles if they ignore the notice of their fines.
Also, designated routes will be assigned, and compliance will be strictly monitored, as well as introducing an e-ticketing system.
