BRT To Commence e-ticketing In Lagos On Tuesday
The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), regulator of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), has announced that the use of e-ticketing payment to board BRT buses in the state will commence on Tuesday as part of ongoing re-structuring of BRT’s operations and management aimed at enhancing effectiveness.
Managing Director, LAMATA, Dayo Mobereola, who disclosed this over the weekend said the measure was part of a holistic plan to return BRT operations to its efficient and effective state as planned when it was launched in 2008.
Dr Mobereola said the Lagos State Government is aware of challenges faced by commuters using the BRT, explaining that steps were currently being taken to ensure the restoration of efficient and effective service delivery on the system and increase its capacity. According to him, the e-ticketing payment was a solution through a payment card named ‘Lagos Connect,’ and it would offer commuters several options, such as, “with the e-payment system, Lagos Connect, commuters in Lagos will pay as low as N20 per trip instead of N70.”
“They would not need to struggle for change or lose their money, and the system is safe and convenient” he added.
