The Lagos state government, the Nigeria Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to transition danfo operators into a regulated public transport system through the Bus Industry Transition Programme (BITP).
According to a statement issued by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) on Wednesday, the MoU provides a common framework for the transition of bus operations across the state’s eight Quality Bus Corridors (QBCs) and forms the basis for the granting of bus operating franchises under the new system.
LAMATA noted that under this new operational model, transport unions will be structured using a cooperative societal governance model to manage union members’ transition into franchise operators, fare collections will adopt a fully digital payment system to streamline revenues, and the authority will maintain strict regulatory oversight across all routes.
