“We charged N4,000 to Lagos in 2022 and we are carrying it now for N10,000 due to subsidy removal.'
Some intended travellers in Lagos boycotted travelling for the Sallah celebrations and instead sent parcels to their relatives in different parts of the country due to an increase in fare.
“I am a tailor in Agbara along Badagry Expressway and wanted to travel to Esie in Kwara with four children but I couldn’t due to ridiculous fares. “I sent many items to my relatives who will be burying her mother after salah with N6,000. I am now going back home to celebrate salah with my children in Agbara,” Mrs Adio said.
A passenger at Emirate Park in Ijora, Fatimoh Razak, said she boarded a 14-seater bus for N10,000 with her two children making it N30,000. Another passenger at Ojota garage, Rufai Salami, said transportation to Ibadan too was on the high side.
