Introduction
Transportation is an integral part of all growing cities in the world.
A Rapidly Growing City
The population of Lagos has been growing at an exponential rate since 1950 and is projected to grow even faster in the coming years (World Population Review).
Two Major Forms of Transport
The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system and danfo minibuses are the two main methods of commuting by road.
Transport Authorities
Two major authorities were formed in the early 2000s to help combat traffic congestion and create an intermodal transport system.
Slow Progress on Rail Line
A light rail network in Lagos could be exactly what the city needs to fix its traffic issues.
Lack of Funding
A lot of the funds and financing for the transport projects put into place by LAMATA are done through World Bank.
Response to Future Plans
The citizens of Lagos are the ones directly affected by any planned changes, so it’s important to look at what they think of the progress being made.
