“I just pray the Lagos State Govt don’t compromise on maintenance of this. The way the BRT have been used mosy on the mainland is really bad. You may not like to put on a white shirt while boarding it.”

“I’ve boarded it a couple of times,and I must say that if Lagos can build on this feat along, a lot of us would’ve no issue given an ‘A’ rating.”
@misterOlusegun said:
“That’s the best form of transport in a congested city. Borrow if you have to to fund this type of infrastructure.”
