  4. PUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATIONS IN LAGOS

  5. Existing and proposed BRT corridors in Lagos

  6. Design and Procurement Strategies • Route selected based on the following Criteria: • Gateway corridor • High traffic demand • Less resettlement action plan

  7. Design and Procurement Strategies • Feasibility study was conducted by an international consultant (ITP) • Contractor was engaged to design and construct • Bilateral configuration • Construction was done over a period of 18 months • Scheme was implemented as a PPP model - Government provided the infrastructure - Union provided the fleet - Formation of NURTW 1st BRT cooperative to operate the fleet • Study tours organized with union executives

  8. Implementation: Infrastructure and Operations

  9. Achievement /Performance • Capacity development of the informal sector • Daily ridership well exceeds 140,000 • Average trip per bus per day is 5 • Average waiting time of 15mins • Average speed of 30km/h • Average journey time of 55mins • Over 211 million ridership since inception • Stability in fare

  10. BRT IN OPERATION

  11. Issues and Challenges Internal • Ownership • Monopolistic in nature • Management • Lack of corporate governance • Inefficient Service delivery External • Frequent damage infrastructure • Violation of BRT lane by other road users • Safety and security issues • Overriding

  12. Lesson Learnt • Adequate preparation and planning are required for any successful transport initiative • Union resistance to change • There is reward in investing in high capacity buses • Financial institutions are now showing interest in public transport investment • Involvement of politician is imperative in the re-organisation of the informal sector • We need to look beyond the union in future BRT expansion to ensure high standard is maintained

  13. Next steps • Extension and expansion of BRT network to Ikorodu • Integration with the proposed Rail mass transit (Blue line at Marina) and other modes of transportation i.e. water transport • Migration to electronic ticketing • Introduction of feeder routes along the BRT corridors to enhance capacity utilization • Consolidation of bus operations within the BRT routes is necessary to further improve efficiency and performance level of BRT services • A model that involves professional private operators
