This is as he revealed that his agency officially commenced
operations from the Badore Terminal, Ajah to Addax Jetty, Victoria Island to
Five Cowries Terminal, Falomo Ikoyi.
Recall that the usual traffic gridlock along the
Badore-Ajah-Lekki-Victoria Island axis worsened in the last couple of days due
to long queues at filling stations along the road.
Commuters have had to spend upward of four hours in traffic
for a journey from Badore to Victoria Island, which alternatively should take
20 minutes by boat from same Badore to Victoria Island or to Five Cowries
Terminal, Falomo, Ikoyi.
Speaking during an inspection tour of operations at the
Badore Terminal, the LAGFERRY boss urged road users to make use of water
transportation as a means of decongesting road traffic.
He explained that the boats deployed to the route are of
world class standard, safe, comfortable, fast, reliable and eco-friendly,
adding that all passengers are also insured on all trips.
He said, “We need to embrace the waterways as a viable
alternative to road transport and means of decongesting traffic on Lagos roads.
This administration is investing massively in water transportation by procuring
world-class standard boats, constructing and rehabilitating terminals/jetties.
Every passenger boarding our boats receives an instant message informing them
that they are insured on each trip. All these are meant to ensure passenger
safety and confidence”.
He stated that the Badore Terminal, which has commenced full
operations, has ample space for passengers’ cars and can be boarded between
6.45am and 9.00am to Victoria Island and Falomo, Ikoyi.
A passenger, Laolu Alimi, speaking on his experience from
Badore to Five Cowries Terminal, Ikoyi, stated that he had a smooth and
fantastic ride with a professional crew, promising to recommend LAGFERRY to
everyone in his Badore neighbourhood in view of the current situation in the axis.
