Commercial Bus Operators Hike Fares in Lagos over Fuel Scarcity

#EndSARS: Council Chair Bans Okada, Danfo Buses in Lagos’ Ajeromi-Ifelodun Community

Since the fuel scarcity surfaced in Lagos State, commercial bus operators have hiked their fares on various routes due to the lingering scarcity of petrol.

Journalists who monitored the situation reported that the fares were increased by between N100 to N150, depending on the route. It was observed that buses were carrying passengers from Iyana-Ipaja to Oshodi for N400 against the normal N300 while bus fares from Iyana-Ipaja to Ikeja increased from N200 to N300.

Similarly, commuters going from Berger to Ojuelegba were charged N400 instead of the usual N300 while passengers from Berger to CMS had to pay N800 instead of N600.

Also, the bus fare from Ketu to Costain went up from N300 to N400, leaving many passengers frustrated and stranded especially with the few available buses on the road.

A teacher, Thomas Ayeni, told newsmen that the increment had doubled his daily transportation expenses.

Mr Ayeni said, ”I am spending double of the amount I normally spent on transport and it is not easy with the way the economy is going.

“I am appealing to the government to intervene quickly to ensure that there is fuel everywhere to reduce this suffering.

Also, a trader, Uche Ikeagwu said he normally paid N600 from Iyana-Ipaja to Idumota but that the fare had increased to N800.

He said, “We are three at the shop and this means I have to pay N2,400 for us to get to the shop. I don’t know how we can continue to do business like this.”

However, Akeem Balogun, Secretary, Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) Lagos Satellite Depot, Ejigbo, advised marketers against exploiting customers due to the scarcity.

Mr Balogun said: “Most of them are stocked out and they are going to look for product now. What we told them is to sell as reasonable as possible.

“They should not exploit the public.

“We have explained our predicament with the current price of PMS at private depots. We explained that with the current price, there is no way we can sell less than N180 per litre.

“That is why some of our members have shut down their stations because it is not sustainable for them to continue to sell petrol at N165 per litre.”
