LAGOS \u2013 In the mood of the Christmas and New Year season, operators of the Mile 12 to CMS Bus Rapid Transit,BRT, system and the Ikotun-Igando-Iyana-Ipaja-Maryland Bus Franchise Scheme,BFS, both regulated by Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA, will provide free bus services to commuters in Lagos on Christmas and New Year days. The two operators will be joined by LAGBUS to offer free bus services on the two days.<\/p>\n

The free bus service, which was first implemented by the current\u00a0 administration in 2008 has ensured such services during festive periods to enable Lagosians move around to meet religious and social obligations.<\/p>\n

About 190 buses in the BRT scheme would be deployed to cover Mile 12 \u2013 CMS, CMS \u2013 Lekki\/Ajah, Jibowu \u2013 Oyingbo \u2013 Mile 2, Oyingbo \u2013 Fadeyi, and Mile 12 \u2013 Oshodi routes during Christmas and New Year days.<\/p>\n

On its part, the BFS operator would deploy 50 buses to cover Ikotun \u2013 Ikeja \u2013 Maryland, Iyana-Ipaja \u2013 Maryland, Ikotun\u2013Iyana- Ipaja, Igando\u2013Iyana-Ipaja, Igando\u2013Ikeja, and Igando \u2013 Maryland routes.<\/p>\n

Managing Director, LAMATA, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, said studies by the authority had shown that commuters usually go through\u00a0 harrowing experience during festive periods.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis prompted the Fashola administration to provide free bus services to ensure that at each festive season, commuters have memorable experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
