Update: LAMATA provided atleast 15-25 BRT buses for Elepe commuters this Thursday morning. The lady who harrased Ella has been removed. Ella got funds for bolt rides from diaspora. As at 7:30am there was no queue, but there were exactly 7 extra buses down. Few area boys, LNSC officers,...

Edit: The BRT lady who harrased Ella was not sacked or suspended. Although it was discussed. They settled on transferring her to another station, per our sources on ground.

@VendrNg Good one LAMATA. Always listen to the cry of citizens instead of politicising the pains of the people. Government at all levels should learn to respond to the cry of the citizens with empathy not with disdain.

Yes! Those diasporans that gave her money for bolt initial wanted their minions to b.u.r.n buses but the people of ikorodu said “not today! Not ever again” hence they sponsored her bolt. I heard they are planning on buying her a car self, rewarding bad behavior with BS is their normal way.

So it took public outrage before anything was done? Now suddenly buses appear and people start acting responsible? Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority should never have allowed things to get this messy in the first place. A commuter gets harassed, the situation escalates, and only after the internet explodes do we see action. And now there are rumors she was “planted” to burn BRT buses? Seriously? Instead of addressing the real issue, people start pushing wild narratives. Good that Ella is safe and that people stepped in to help, but the whole situation shows how broken the system can be sometimes. Nigerians shouldn’t need diaspora donations and public outrage just to feel safe using public transport. 🤦‍♂️🔥

I have seen several videos of Ella where she was constantly ranting about nonavailability of BRT buses to commute people to their various destinations. People wait on a very long queue for as long as one to two or three hours waiting for buses to come. I wonder what kind of a society is so much comfortable with wastage of valuable economic hours at the bus stop, just standing! Do we even understand anything about the value of time in monetary terms. Perhaps Nigerians will learn to value time more if people are getting paid on hourly rates. The eye sore for me was yesterday when Ella who is now otherwise known in the social media space as "BRT lady" was almost beaten up by the same set of people she was speaking up for. A particular lady said "Ella should tell her father to buy buses and put on the road". Imagine that! Sometimes, I wonder if some people have been cursed with suffering and poverty because I'll never understand why some persons can be so antagonistic against someone else who is requesting for a better life. Some other morons online were saying stuffs like "must she use BRT", "why can't she "enter a danfo or korope", "she will soon get tired", "she should go back to her state in the southeast. Ṣé ìṣẹ́ bá àwọn kan mu'lẹ̀ ni? 🤷🤷 Today now, there were many BRT buses on the queue waiting for people to board. My question is "where were all these buses before now"? A government that waits until someone speaks up before providing the basics is an irresponsible government, and so also, a group of people who gang up to shut down someone who is speaking up for something that will benefit everyone is a group of imbeciles and morons. In a sane clime, buses have a time schedule and they move round the clock. Even if there was no one at the bus stop, a bus leaves that bus stop at the time it is meant to leave. It's abnormal for a huge number of people to be waiting for hours at the bus stop and they were all comfortable doing it. Kudos to Ella for making her voice heard. An average person in our society doesn't know the quality of life he/she deserve and that is why those in position of authority will keep treating the poor masses like trash. If you don't know what you deserve, how do you demand for more? It is the ignorance of the ignorants that keeps sustaining a mediocre ecosystem. Bro and sis, please do all you can to escape from the crowd.

On Sunday afternoon, in a drive at the Gourkanya Bus Terminus in Malda, names, logos and stickers mimicking those of government buses were removed from several private buses. Many private buses were operating with colour schemes (blue and white) and names resembling those of the state transport corporation. The use of such colours and names was causing confusion among passengers, particularly women. Following an order from the state government, free travel for women on government buses was introduced on 1 June. However, due to the visual similarity between government and private buses, many female passengers were inadvertently boarding private buses and subsequently getting hassled. Some private buses were displaying names like NBTS, MBTSG, and MMT to mimic the name of the North Bengal State Transport Corporation (NBSTC). Additionally, the vehicles were painted blue and white, just like government buses. On Sunday afternoon, Anupam Chakraborty, the regional transport officer (RTO) of the district, arrived at the Gourkanya Bus Terminus with transport department staff. There, misleading logos and stickers were removed from several private buses. Furthermore, markings and text imitating the state transport corporation’s branding were painted over with black ink. Passengers expressed relief at this move by the transport department. They believe that a clear distinction between government and private buses will prevent future confusion and significantly reduce harassment, especially for female passengers. Maloy Karmakar, in charge of the Malda Depot of the North Bengal State Transport Corporation, stated that the blue-and-white colour scheme has been used on NBSTC buses for many years, and the colour of private buses is not within their jurisdiction. However, he noted that female passengers often ask if a bus is a government one; NBSTC buses are painted blue and white as per government regulations, while the RTO office would be the authority to speak on bus colour specifications.

Good morning Crime Watch, I would like to share a concerning experience I had on the road this morning involving a convoy of approximately 12 buses. I unintentionally found myself in the middle of the convoy around Greencroft shops, with roughly eight buses ahead of me and four behind me. I remained caught within the convoy until the buses eventually turned off at the robots at Bishop Gaul. Throughout the journey, the buses were hooting incessantly. At one point at Cnr Suffolk and West, the buses behind me were repeatedly hooting, seemingly pressuring me to move or turn so that they could remain together as a convoy. This was particularly concerning because it was during morning rush hour, with parents taking children to school and other motorists going to work. Some sections of the road are narrow and there simply wasn’t anywhere to move out of their way safely. Suffolk/West is also an area where motorists already need to exercise considerable caution. Beyond the frustration, I believe this raises a road-safety issue. A convoy should not intimidate or pressure ordinary motorists into making unsafe manoeuvres simply to allow the vehicles to remain together. The excessive hooting was also unnecessary and extremely disruptive. Some of the buses were green and looked very similar to CAG buses, although I cannot confirm that they belonged to CAG. They did not appear to have number plates, which made me wonder whether they may have been newly imported buses being transported into the country. I am sharing this with Crime Watch because perhaps this can be investigated or highlighted as a road-safety concern. Whoever was responsible for moving this convoy should have done so in a manner that respected other motorists and the rules of the road, particularly during peak morning traffic. Thank you.

OAU transport system was near perfect, adequate buses and bikes, we rarely experienced queues until the First Lady came and decided she didn’t like the ease of transportation and introduced “change” by donating CNG buses. The school management in turn banned all motorcycles and commercial buses on campus and subjected over 30,000 students to just about 50 buses and a few tricycles. OAU has one of the largest land masses of any Nigerian university, yet students are now stranded daily. This is a Monday morning where students are supposed to rush for class, but they are stuck at the campus gate because of the inefficiency of the CNG buses. Students are struggling to go to class in the morning and in the evenings to even get back to their hostels. Students staying off campus now spend almost double to get to campus, all alternative transport means have been removed The management have cars to bypass all of this, but majority of students do not. Yet they released statements talking about how the buses will “ease transportation” and even implied students appreciate the system. Meanwhile, students are trekking, missing classes, and spending hours in queues. Let it be clear that students do not appreciate this system. It has made our lives harder, not better. What used to be a smooth system has now become a daily struggle. There are many pressing issues in this school, but they chose to dismantle a working transport system and replace it with hardship. We can no longer remain silent. Let the whole world know what OAU students are going through. Please if you come across this tweet, help us retweet it whether you are an OAU student or not We demand our towngboro buses and motorcycles back.
