Punch reports that the Managing Director, Primero Transport Limited, Fola Tinubu said transport fares will not be increased.
Tinubu also said “The introduction of the 50 buses was undertaken by the governor to reduce the effect of the hike in fuel price on Lagosians in the hope that more people in Ikorodu and its environs will enjoy the BRT service while leaving their vehicles at home.
“This will go a long way in reducing traffic to the road users and waiting time at various terminals.
