Check Out Lists of Transportation Fares Across Lagos
We will be taking a look at the cost of transportation around major areas in Lagos for those working in Island and living in the Mainland, we will be calculating how much the working class spend going to and fro around Lagos and how much it costs yearly. We believe most Lagosians spend the same amount on transport and rent every year.
Our calculation would be the cost of transport and total working days, it would be total cost in a day that is to and fro, we have a total of 261 working days in 2019
NOTE:
We will start our destinations from places like Iyana Ipaja, Ikotun and end at the workplace locations like Yaba, Obalende/CMS, Lekki/Ajah, Ikeja. We excluded places like Abule Egba because the cost of transportation from those places are very high compared to Iyana Ipaja as more people enter transport from Iyana Ipaja.
We are putting the average salary of the Lagos Working Class at ₦70,000 Monthly, we will be using this to
We will be using the yellow buses (Danfo) as examples, as BRT don’t function in some route example Ikotun to Oshodi or Egbeda to Obalende. You cant see BRT routes here
