Lagos BRT Buses Adopts e-Ticketing Today - LAMATA

Lagos State Government through the state Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) regulator of the Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, will from today commence the use of e-ticketing payment as part of ongoing re-structuring of BRT’s operations and management aimed at enhancing effectiveness.

Dr. Dayo Mobereola, managing director, LAMATA, who disclosed this on Monday, said the measure was part of a holistic plan at returning the BRT operations and experience to its once efficient and effective state when it was fist launched in 2008.

Mobereola said the Lagos State Government was not unaware of the challenges that commuters using the current BRT system were experiencing, explaining that steps were currently being taken to ensure the restoration of efficient and effective service delivery on the system and increase its capacity.

According to him, the e-ticketing payment was a solution through a payment card named ‘Lagos Connect,’ and would offer commuters several options, saying, “with the e-payment system, Lagos Connect, commuters in Lagos will pay as low as N20 per trip instead of N70.

They would not need to struggle for change or lose their money, and the system is safe and convenient.
