




-

Feasibility study was conducted by an international consultant
(ITP)
Contractor was engaged to design and construct
Bilateral configuration
Construction was done over a period of 18 months
Scheme was implemented as a PPP model

-

Government provided the infrastructure
Union provided the fleet
Formation of NURTW 1st BRT cooperative to operate the fleet



Study tours organized with union executives

OPERATIONS
Scheme launched in March 2008
220 buses in operations
16hrs of operations
Headway – 10mins max
Over 900 bus pilots& bus officers
57 Inspectors
LASTMA’S role – Traffic management,
Breakdowns& Enforcement
Fares – 2 zone system

Achievement /Performance


Capacity development of the informal sector



Daily ridership well exceeds 140,000



Average trip per bus per day is 5



Average waiting time of 15mins



Average speed of 30km/h



Average journey time of 55mins



Over 211 million ridership since inception



Stability in fare

BRT IN OPERATION

Issues and Challenges
Internal
 Ownership
-

Monopolistic in nature

 Management
-

Lack of corporate governance

 Inefficient Service
delivery

External
 Frequent damage
infrastructure
 Violation of BRT lane
by other road users
 Safety and security
issues
 Overriding

11

Lesson Learnt


Adequate preparation and planning are required for any
successful transport initiative



Union resistance to change



There is reward in investing in high capacity buses



Financial institutions are now showing interest in public
transport investment



Involvement of politician is imperative in the re-organisation
of the informal sector



We need to look beyond the union in future BRT expansion to
ensure high standard is maintained

Next steps







Extension and expansion of BRT network to Ikorodu
Integration with the proposed Rail mass transit (Blue
line at Marina) and other modes of transportation i.e.
water transport
Migration to electronic ticketing
Introduction of feeder routes along the BRT corridors
to enhance capacity utilization
Consolidation of bus operations within the BRT
routes is necessary to further improve efficiency and
performance level of BRT services
A model that involves professional private operators

Route selected based on
the following Criteria:
 Gateway corridor
 High traffic demand
 Less resettlement action
plan

Design and Procurement Strategies







-

Feasibility study was conducted by an international consultant
(ITP)
Contractor was engaged to design and construct
Bilateral configuration
Construction was done over a period of 18 months
Scheme was implemented as a PPP model

-

Government provided the infrastructure
Union provided the fleet
Formation of NURTW 1st BRT cooperative to operate the fleet



Study tours organized with union executives

Implementation: Infrastructure
and Operations
RUNNING WAYS
65% of 22km segregated
lane
Bilateral configuration

STATIONS
28 bus shelters

TERMINALS
3 Terminals

DEPOT/GARAGE
1 Depot

OPERATIONS
Scheme launched in March 2008
220 buses in operations
16hrs of operations
Headway – 10mins max
Over 900 bus pilots& bus officers
57 Inspectors
LASTMA’S role – Traffic management,
Breakdowns& Enforcement
Fares – 2 zone system

Achievement /Performance


Capacity development of the informal sector



Daily ridership well exceeds 140,000



Average trip per bus per day is 5



Average waiting time of 15mins



Average speed of 30km/h



Average journey time of 55mins



Over 211 million ridership since inception



Stability in fare

BRT IN OPERATION

Issues and Challenges
Internal
 Ownership
-

Monopolistic in nature

 Management
-

Lack of corporate governance

 Inefficient Service
delivery

External
 Frequent damage
infrastructure
 Violation of BRT lane
by other road users
 Safety and security
issues
 Overriding

11

Lesson Learnt


Adequate preparation and planning are required for any
successful transport initiative



Union resistance to change



There is reward in investing in high capacity buses



Financial institutions are now showing interest in public
transport investment



Involvement of politician is imperative in the re-organisation
of the informal sector



We need to look beyond the union in future BRT expansion to
ensure high standard is maintained

Next steps






Extension and expansion of BRT network to Ikorodu
Integration with the proposed Rail mass transit (Blue
line at Marina) and other modes of transportation i.e.
water transport
Migration to electronic ticketing
