BACKGROUND v 18 million inhabitants v Smallest state in Nigeria with total area of 357, 700 Hectares. v Most populous city in Africa. v Current estimated growth rate is 6%, hence by 2020, population is expected to be 35 million. v Hub of nation’s economic, commercial and industrial activities. v 45% of nation’s skilled manpower reside in the city. v 3 Houses the nation’s principal commercial sea and airports.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATIONS IN LAGOS 4
Existing and proposed BRT corridors in Lagos 5
Design and Procurement Strategies v Route selected based on the following Criteria: v Gateway corridor v High traffic demand v Less resettlement action plan 6
Design and Procurement Strategies v v v - Feasibility study was conducted by an international consultant (ITP) Contractor was engaged to design and construct Bilateral configuration Construction was done over a period of 18 months Scheme was implemented as a PPP model - Government provided the infrastructure Union provided the fleet Formation of NURTW 1 st BRT cooperative to operate the fleet v Study tours organized with union executives 7
Implementation: Infrastructure and Operations STATIONS 28 bus shelters RUNNING WAYS 65% of 22 km segregated lane Bilateral configuration TERMINALS 3 Terminals DEPOT/GARAGE 1 Depot OPERATIONS Scheme launched in March 2008 220 buses in operations 16 hrs of operations Headway – 10 mins max Over 900 bus pilots& bus officers 57 Inspectors LASTMA’S role – Traffic management, Breakdowns& Enforcement Fares – 2 zone system 8
Achievement /Performance v Capacity development of the informal sector v Daily ridership well exceeds 140, 000 v Average trip per bus per day is 5 v Average waiting time of 15 mins v Average speed of 30 km/h v Average journey time of 55 mins v Over 211 million ridership sinception v Stability in fare
BRT IN OPERATION 10
Issues and Challenges Internal v Ownership - Monopolistic in nature v Management - Lack of corporate governance v Inefficient Service delivery External v Frequent damage infrastructure v Violation of BRT lane by other road users v Safety and security issues v Overriding 11
