The attendant effect of the ban on Okada and Keke in Lagos has seen many Lagos residents stranded at bus-stops while commercial bus operators have cashed in on the situation.

The fare from Ijora to Costain is now N150 instead of N50 while Palmgrove to Kingsway is now N150 while Ikeja to Oshodi is N200.“Blame Sanwo-Olu, don’t face me,” the conductor said. A commuter that took the bus from Ikeja to Maryland blamed the commercial bus driver for extorting commuters.
