The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has officially declared the conclusion of the 50% transportation fare discount on the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.

This discount was initially put in place in response to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s directive on August 2, 2023, as part of measures to ease the financial burden on commuters.

In an official statement released on its X account on Saturday, LAMATA informed the public that the temporary 50% fare reduction would come to an end on Sunday, with transportation fares returning to their original rates on Monday.

The agency encouraged residents to prepare for the resumption of regular transport fare rates, emphasizing the necessity to take note of the impending change.
