According to LAMATA, the temporary 50% fare cut will expire on Sunday, making normal prices to resume on Monday.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on August 2 announced the discount to mitigate the effect of subsidy removal on Lagosians.

The statement reads: “The 50% rebate in transport fare in the regulated transport system in Lagos ends on Sunday, a statement by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority has said.

“The 50% fare rebate was announced by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on August 2, 2023.

“The public is hereby informed that from Monday, November 6, 2023, transport fare will return to the pre-2nd August 2023 rate.”
