The Lagos State Government has earlier
confirmed that plans are in motion to remove yellow buses, popularly
known as Danfo, from Lagos roads for a more efficient and
well-structured mass transportation system that would facilitate ease of
movement.
Governor Ambode has also now clarified that there will be no
job losses for the concerned danfo drivers involved, as they will be
employed and trained to drive the new buses. According to him;
“If
Lagos is to be globally competitive, we need to change the outlook of
the way the city runs. What is of paramount interest to this government
is that every Lagosian has a comfortable means of moving from one place
to the other. But I promise you that they’ll be no job losses.
The
Governor is not interested in driving all the new buses. It is these
bus drivers, the technicians, the mechanics that would also still be
employed and trained to use the new buses. We are going to employ more
people for the greater number of the buses and to make the city more
beautiful and comfortable to all our workers.”
