Reduce Agbero, multiple levies as our palliative, transporters tell Lagos govt

To cushion the effect of subsidy removal and ensure reduction of transport fares, Lagos commercial bus drivers and tricycle operators have urged the state government to reduce the number of Agberos and their collection points on the roads. Some of them, who spoke to The Guardian, said the plea by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for operators to reduce their fares and the recent reduction of transportation fares by 50 per cent in the state, would not achieve the desired results if Agberos are still allowed in their numbers. A driver, Daniel Chibuzo, popularly known as Celebrity Danfo Driver, lamented that the union gets the larger part of what drivers work for.
