The Lagos State Government has cancelled operations of the first BRT cooperative run by the National Union of Road Transport Workers from the Mile12 to CMS BRT corridor with immediate effect.
This is contained in a statement signed by the state’s Commissioner for Transportation, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, on Thursday in Lagos.
“The termination of the franchise agreement with the operator is sequel to breaches of the BRT operations Service Level Agreement it signed with the state government, despite years of discussions and engagement to ensure SLA was adhered to.
“Though the SLA requires a one month notice prior to its termination, the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, custodian of the agreement, had indeed given a three-month notice which the operator failed to honour,” he said.
Mobereola said the decision was premised on the inability of the operator to offer good public transport services to commuters on the all-important BRT corridor, he added that commutters also did not stop complaining about the poor service they rendered.
do they go off the road automatically? It’s the corridor monopoly that encourages the ineptitude and lack luster attitude
isn’t the NURTW same body that put touts on the road? What magic were we expecting.
