In another report, in an effort to deal with the menace of insecurity on Lagos roads, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has come up with a very practical and admirable solution.

The governor on Tuesday, May 18, launched 500 units of First and Last Mile (FLM) buses and 100 high and medium capacity buses for standard routes. During the launching ceremony on Tuesday, the governor explained that FLM buses will serve not less than 286 routes in Lagos communities as an alternative to tackle the menace and security threat posed by okada riders.

Speaking on the safety and convenience the special vehicles offer, Sanwo-Olu noted that passengers will be able to use Cowry Travel Cards - an automated payment system already in use for BRT buses.

The FLM bus corridors have been outlined into eight zones comprising Ikeja and Ketu (Zone 1), Oshodi, Mushin, and Surulere (Zone 2), Berger, Yaba, and Oyingbo (Zone 3) and Lagos Island, Ajah and Ibeju Lekki (Zone 4).
