Lagos BRT Finally Resumes Operations

Lagos BRT Finally Resumes Operations

The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), Primero Transport Services Ltd. has today, October 30 commenced operations in Lagos State following the relaxation of curfew by the State Government.

The transport company had on Thursday, October 29 released a statement announcing their intention to resume operations today, Friday which will run from 7 am to 6 pm daily.

The statement read: “Subsequent to the relaxation of curfew restrictions within Lagos state and careful observation of the security situation along our bus routes, Primero is set to commence operations along the Ikorodu to TBS corridor from tomorrow, Friday 30th of October 2020.

“Bus operations will run from 7 am to 6 pm daily. Be rest assured that your safety is our utmost priority. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.”

This makes it the second time the transport company would announce its readiness to resume operations in the state after the recent crises in many parts of the country.

Nigerian youths recently took to the streets to demand that the country’s leaders disband the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) and reform the nation’s police force.

Subsequently, however, the peaceful protests degenerated into violence that rocked Lagos and Nigeria at large, leading many companies to suspend their operations including the BRT company.

A few hours after its earlier services resumed, the transport company suspended its operations due to the disruption of peace at Owode Elede and Mile 12 axis area of the state.

However, commuters can now heave a sigh of relief as getting to their various destinations has now become much easier.
