Lagos is about to undergo a major
restructuring that will change the outlook of the megacity. Governor
Ambode has plans to ban the yellow Danfo buses that have added colour to
the ever bustling and bubbling city.
Akinwumi
Ambode, the governor of Lagos state has made known his plans to phase
out the popular Danfo buses from the streets of Lagos in order to change
the outlook of the megacity.
While
this is considered to be a major event that will have a long term impact
on the lives of Lagosians and people living outside the ever-lively
state, the governor is bent on bringing change to the state and making
an impact during his tenure as the state governor.
The
yellow buses that have been long associated with Lagos may soon become
history if Governor Ambode pulls through with his plan.
Check out the reasons why the Lagos state governor is taking the yellow buses off Lagos roads:
1. To give way to a world-class transport system
Governor
Ambode explained that taking the yellow buses away would give way to a
more efficient, well-structured and world-class mass transport system
that will boost the movement of people within the city.
Keeping
the Danfo buses on the road will muddle up the arrangement and
functionality of the mass-transport system that would be launched in the
state.
2. Danfo buses are not acceptable and befitting
The
Lagos state governor revealed that the Danfo transport system operating
in Lagos does not befit the megacity and is totally unacceptable.
This
was made known at the 14th annual lecture of the centre for values in
leadership held at the Muson Centre in Onikan. This point was revealed
when the governor was speaking on ‘The challenge of Africa’s future
cities.’
3. The current transport system is a faulty connectivity
Another
reason the popular yellow buses would be phased out is that Lagos is
running a faulty connectivity in terms of transport systems.
The governor expressed his dismay
at seeing yellow buses, Okadas and tricycles on the roads every day. He
said in as much as this transport system is in use, then Lagos claiming
to be a megacity is a false claim.
Placing the ban on the yellow buses will help people move around with ease. This is the governor’s main goal!
