The Lagos State Government has announced that only Danfo buses meeting Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) standards will be permitted to operate on the Lekki-Epe corridor as mid-capacity buses, effective October 1, 2024.
The Special Adviser to the Governor of Lagos on Transportation, Sola Giwa, made this announcement in a statement released on Sunday, July 14, 2024.
This initiative coincides with the planned introduction of mass transit buses on the corridor and the enforcement that only VIS-compliant Korope minibuses will operate First Mile Last Mile services on the interior roads from Obalende/CMS to Ajah, specifically Eleko.
