Lagos Raises BRT Fares By 18% February 17

 The Lagos State government has announced an 18 percent increase in fares under its bus reform initiative scheme.

The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority made this known in a state­ment on Thursday via its social media pages.

LAMATA said the fare ad­justment was necessary due to rising operational costs and to ensure the continued availability of bus services for commuters in Lagos.

The transport authority stated that the new fare struc­ture will take effect from Feb­ruary 17, 2025.

The statement added, “The fare rise is because of the increase in the cost of operations and the need to ensure that buses keep run­ning and guarantee your movement around Lagos.

“We seek your under­standing and cooperation.”
