The Lagos State Government Monday donated 50 new high-capacity bus rapid transit (BRT) vehicles to Primero Transport Services Limited to cushion effect of new pump price of petrol on its residents.

The firm’s Managing Director, Mr. Fola Tinubu disclosed this at the firm's head office, Ikorodu alongside other top officials, ruling out likelihood of increasing fares due to rising inflation rate.

At the conference, Tinubu said the state government under the administration of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode had donated 50 new BRT buses to Primero Transport Services Limited at the instance of prevailing economic challenges in the country.

He added that the decision of the state government would substantially reduce the effect of hike in fuel price on Lagos residents, hoping that more people in Ikorodu and its environs would patronise BRT.

The managing director explained that with what the Ambode administration had done, more commuters “will leave their cars at home and use BRT,” which he said, would go a long way in reducing traffic congestions to the road users and waiting time at various terminals.
