A TikTok user, @brovneze, suggests that passengers seated next to a tricycle driver should pay a lower fare due to the discomfort and risks associated with that position.
Originally, the front seat was designed solely for the driver, but extra income and, some argue, greed have made having a front-seat passenger a standard in Nigerian tricycles.
Despite this, some passengers actually prefer sitting in the front. The post sparked various comments, with some agreeing and others sharing their own front-seat preferences.
Justanitæ: Injustice: any small shake and you are the first to fall. Plus, I am sharing my seat with the driver’s holding rod to protect myself, and when it’s raining—oh no!
user2610750564128: Abi oo. I dont even try to sit in the front seat. How can we pay the same when i will be sitting with only half of my nyash
adorable rosey: I used to think it was unfair, all of a sudden i started enjoying sitting in the front. If i can’t sit in the front then am not entering 😂
