The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has unveiled a revised fare structure for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and standard route services following a 13 per cent increase across all services under the Bus Reform Initiative. The new fares take effect on Monday, March 2, 2026.
The Lagos State Government approved the adjustment after regulated public transport operators cited rising operational costs amid economic pressures.
In a statement, LAMATA’s Head of Corporate Communication, Kolawole Ojelabi, said the review ensures the sustainability of public transport operations.
“The adjustment is designed to help offset the severe impact of ongoing economic pressures on public transport providers. It also aligns with the state’s previously established annual fare review mechanism,” Ojelabi said.
He noted that inflation continues to strain operators. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Nigeria’s headline inflation rate stood at 15.15 per cent in December 2025, moderating slightly to 15.1 per cent in January 2026.
