Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has increased the fare for the Bus Rapid Transit better known as BRT.
A notice posted by LAMATA on Thursday afternoon said the 18 per cent increment would begin next week.
“Please be informed that there will be an 18 percent increase in the bus fare on all Bus Reform Initiative (BRI) schemes,” part of the notice read.
“The fare increase 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”.
LAMATA called for the “understanding and cooperation” of passengers amidst the increment.
