Lagos commuters were stranded yesterday, following the commencement of a seven-day strike announced by commercial bus drivers in the state.
Association tasks government to obey a court order
At the Ikotun axis, it was observed that many commuters were stranded as there were fewer vehicles running commercial services on the routes. Subsequently, transport fare from Council Bus Stop in Ikotun axis to Iyana Ipaja roundabout was hiked from N200 to N400. However, the situation was milder at other major bus stops in the Ikorodu, Ketu, and Mile 12 areas of Lagos as a result of low compliance by commercial drivers to the strike call.
