LAGOS State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has assured the people of cleaner public transportation.
Governor Sanwo-Olu made the pledge in a statement on Sunday as he announced that the state has acquired a new set of electric commercial buses.
“With the ability to travel 280 km at full charge, taking into account our unique travel times in Lagos, our electric buses are a game-changer. With an average daily usage of 200 km by existing BRTs, there is no need to fear that the buses can stop while in transit.”
“Our new electric buses will not only reduce carbon emissions but will also increase efficiency. This means that Lagosians can say goodbye to high fuel costs and hello to cost-efficient transportation.
“We shall be running a pilot scheme over the next few months to gather sufficient data required to analyse the operational efficiencies relative to the current BRT buses to further improve our public transport service.
