Lagos stops subsidy on bus, train and ferry fares

BRT

The Babajide Sanwo-Olu-led Government of Lagos through the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has announced that the 25% rebate on fares paid by passengers in Lagos has come to an end.

The fares are back to their original amount.

This was made known by LAMATA via a post on its official X handle.

“From June 3, fares on all regulated transport services in the state will return to the original 100 per cent,” it said.

The 25% subsidy on fares was announced by the Governor on the 23rd of February to cushion the impact of economic hardship caused by the removal of petrol subsidy on Lagos residents.
