The Lagos State Government, through the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), has announced the end of the 25% discount on transport fares across the entire Lagos State Public Transport System, starting from Sunday, January 28, 2024. Â
LAMATA issued a public notice on Friday, January 26, 2024, revealing the discontinuation of the 25-transport fare discount, through its official X (formerly Twitter) account.
Recall that on July 31, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced the reduction of transport fares of state-owned buses by 50% as well as commercial yellow buses by 25% on all routes as part of efforts to cushion the effect of the removal of the petrol subsidy.
The agency also advised Lagosians to take note of the change and to make the necessary preparations for the resumption of regular transport fare rates that were in place before the adjustment made in December.
In other words, from Monday, 29th January 2024, transport fare on regulated services return to 100%.Â
