COVID-19: How FCT residents reacted to increased transportation cost after lockdown
Some residents of Lugbe in Abuja have lamented the increment in the cost of transportation, following the relaxation of the COVID-19 lockdown.
When DAILY POST sought reasons for the increment, a taxi driver said transporters now carry fewer passengers, hence the increment in price. However, the taxi driver who wished to remain anonymous said despite carrying fewer passengers, transporters still need to make their money, hence they increased the fare.
“This is a serious issue, after staying at home for a month without doing anything to get money now we are confronted with this, the government should look into this.” Despite not adhering to the social distancing directive, most of the commuters were seen wearing face masks as they discussed their experience of staying at home for about one month.
