SEE picture of higher capacity buses that will replace popular yellow buses on Lagos roads
The Lagos state government has unveiled the new buses that will replace and phase out Danfo and Molues within the state.
Speaking on the move to introduce new buses on Friday, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, Lagos State Commissioner of Transportation said the system would see to the introduction of higher capacity buses that would have 30 seats as opposed to 14/18 seats Danfo buses.
He added that the buses would be Eco-friendly, air-conditioned, comfortable, support for maintenance and backed by appropriate workshop which will create job opportunities for Lagosians.
Dr. Mobereola explained that Danfo would give way to a more efficient, well-structured and world-class mass transport system that would facilitate ease of movement within the city.
“The Lagos state Government’s aim is to displace the Danfo buses economically by offering Lagosians the opportunity to queue up to board buses at cheaper rate than the Danfo’s would offer,” the commissioner concluded.

Speaking on Monday, February 6, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode said: “When I wake up in the morning and see all these yellow buses and see Okada and all kinds of tricycles and then we claim we are a mega city, that is not true and we must first acknowledge that that is a faulty connectivity that we are running.
“Having accepted that, we have to look for the solution and that is why we want to banish yellow buses this year.”
