Commuters stranded, pay more, as commercial bus drivers commence strike in Lagos
[ad_1]
Due to the 7-day strike embarked upon by commercial bus drivers in Lagos under the aegis Joint Drivers Welfare Association of Nigeria, some passengers were seen stranded, while others were asked to pay more than the normal fares.
There was partial compliance as some drivers shunned the protest by the drivers’ union but increased their fares forcing many passengers to be stranded at bus stops.
A passenger, Mrs Abidoye, spoke to the Tribune Online ” We do not know if they are on strike or they are increasing the fares. ”
She added that ” Before now, Toll Gate to Oshodi used to be #500, but today they are calling #800. Agege that was just #300 is now #500. What kind of strike is that ”
