The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has unveiled the revised fare structure for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and standard route services following the approval of a 13 per cent increase across services under the Bus Reform Initiative.
The new fares, announced on Tuesday, will take effect from Monday, March 2, 2026.
The Lagos State Government approved the fare adjustment after regulated public transport operators raised concerns over rising operational costs driven by economic pressures.
In a statement issued by LAMATA’s Head of Corporate Communication, Kolawole Ojelabi, the agency said the review became necessary to ensure sustainability of transport operations across the State.
“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 added that inflationary trends continue to place significant strain on operators.
“Data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows Nigeria’s headline inflation rate stood at 15.15 per cent in December 2025, with only slight moderation to around 15.1 per cent in January 2026, levels that continue to exert heavy strain on operating costs.”
