In Lagos, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has slashed regulated bus and train fares in the state by 25 per cent, effective today, Tuesday, November 7, 2023.

The spokesperson of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Kolawole Ojelabi, made this known in a statement.

According to him, the governor’s directive followed calls for reinstating the 50 per cent rebate on fares for regulated bus and rail transport until another review is announced.
