Lagos State Replaces Danfo With New Buses (pictures)

The Lagos state government has unveiled new modern buses which will ply the Lagos roads instead of the old buses, popularly known as "danfo" and "molue".

The government have advised danfo bus owners to key into the project now as its of utmost importance and also stating that the buses are inexpensive and durable.

The commissioner for transportation, Dr. Dayo Mobereola said the scheme would see to the introduction of higher capacity buses that would have 30 seats as opposed to 14/18 seats, while the buses would be Eco – friendly, air-conditioned, comfortable, support for maintenance and backed by appropriate workshop which creates jobs.

Mobereola said with the introduction of the new mode of transportation, danfo buses would be displaced economically as Lagosians would be left to choose between very cheaper means of transportation and expensive danfos.

He further stated that the National Union of Road Transport Workers had already given government its support for the project.
