That means bus services on Saturday 25 December and Saturday
1 January, 2022 will be free, in celebration of the festive season.
Managing Director, Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport
Authority (LAMATA), Abimbola Akinajo, said the free commuter bus services are
being offered to Lagosians in the spirit of joy, love and peace which the
festive season signifies.
According to her, the Sanwo-Olu led administration is
committed to ensuring the execution of the Strategic Transport Master Plan via
the Multimodal Transport System currently taking shape through water
transportation and the ongoing Blue and Red Lines rail projects.
“The Governor has given his promise for the commencement of
passenger operations on the first two phases of the State’s rail lines – Blue
and Red.
“He has demonstrated his commitment to the completion of
both rail lines by sourcing funds for their completion and provision of rolling
stock.
“What is therefore expected of Lagosians is to support him
towards the realisation of the Greater Lagos vision”, Mrs. Akinajo stated.
The Managing Director expressed the Lagos State Government’s
gratitude for the patience and perseverance the citizenry has shown in the face
of the discomfort accompanied with the construction of transport
infrastructure, assuring that consistent and spirited efforts are being made to
improve public transport and traffic management.
