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.
