During an interactive session with Government House correspondents, the Managing Director, Lagos Bus Services Limited (LBSL), Mr Idowu Oguntona, said that the 65 buses were expected to serve 35,000 passengers daily.
Oguntona said that the buses, which started work on Monday, recorded about 10,000 customers in the early hours of the day.
”We are here today to witness the official deployment of additional 65 buses into the bus service to basically ease the pressure that may be experienced on Lagos roads.
