The Lagos State Government has declared that beginning October 1, 2024, only Danfo buses that enact the Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) standards will be permitted to operate on the Lekki-Epe corridor. 

This initiative is a core component of the state’s Bus Reform Initiative (BRI), aimed at overhauling commercial bus operations to improve the commuting experience.

The primary goal of the BRI is to revamp the bus system along the Lekki-Epe axis, ensuring a more efficient and safer public transportation network. 

Under this initiative, only Danfo buses that meet VIS standards will be allowed to operate as mid-capacity buses. 

Added to this, Korope minibuses, which also must comply with VIS standards, will be integrated into the First Mile Last Mile services to serve interior roads stretching from Obalende/CMS to Ajah, specifically targeting areas like Eleko.

As part of this comprehensive reform, all participating buses will undergo roadworthiness checks to ensure they meet the required safety standards. 

To further enhance the safety and professionalism of the service, drivers will receive specialised training at the state’s driving institute. 

This training is designed to improve their driving skills and ensure adherence to best practices in road safety and passenger service.

To maintain order and efficiency on the Lekki-Epe corridor, designated routes will be assigned to these buses, with strict monitoring in place to ensure compliance. 

This measure aims to streamline bus operations, reduce traffic congestion, and improve overall traffic flow within the corridor. 

Again, the introduction of an e-ticketing system via the existing Cowry platform is expected to reduce cash transactions and expedite the boarding process, thereby enhancing passenger convenience and comfort.

The initiative also seeks to address the prevalent issue of illegal passenger pickups and unauthorised bus stops along the Lekki-Epe corridor. 

In implementing stricter regulations and more vigilant monitoring, the government aims to eliminate these practices, which contribute to traffic congestion and cause safety risks to commuters.

Transport operators on the Lekki-Epe corridor are required to register for new franchises with the Ministry of Transportation. This registration process is essential for maintaining an organised and accountable transport system, ensuring that all operators adhere to the necessary government standards and regulations.

Through these reforms, the Lagos State Government seeks to create a more organised, efficient, and safe public transportation system on the Lekki-Epe corridor, greatly improving the daily commuting experience for thousands of passengers.
