Genevieve on BRT

Nigerian film star Genevieve Nnaji adorns the back of the Bus Rapid Transit in an ad campaign for Luna Milk. The new BRT buses are an ongoing replacement for the old yellow Danfo mini-buses on Lagos roads.

Inside BRT

Much spacious and cleaner than the old molues, BRT offers many benefits. It has decent seating and one can really relax inside. I often times fall asleep on my way to the Island.

Riding on BRT

A little over a year ago, the Lagos government commenced the bus rapid transit (BRT) services to enable easier mass transportation in the metropolis. The buses travel on a special lane which other road users are barred from using. It's more like a tram service only on wheels.

One year on, the service has increased bus routes to a couple of new neighbourhoods in Lagos and many commuters are thankful. I'm one of them.

A nation of talkers

Took this shot inside a BRT bus. It made me realise that we're a nation of talkers. Hence, the sign says No hawking (because we realise that you folks are always trying to sell things to passengers inside our bus); No preaching (because we know you're always trying to convert others in that holier than thou manner) and No advertising (because you always like to disturb others with your loud lifestyle).
