The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA, has commenced the phase implementation upgrade of 91 bus stops as part of its newly launched Quality Bus Corridor, QBC, projects.
The initiative, designed to improve public transportation, will integrate key routes into the existing Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, network.
LAMATA, which announced this via its official X account, added that the QBC project, funded by the Agence Française de Développement, AFD, and the Lagos State Government, aimed to enhance connectivity across multiple corridors while introducing critical infrastructure upgrades.
The statement read in part: “The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority has officially launched the kick-off meeting to implement its Quality Bus Corridor (QBC) project.
“The project is designed to enhance public transportation by connecting communities to the existing BRT network.”
The first phase of the QBC project will focus on four major routes: QBC 1a (Yaba-Lawanson-Ijesha-Cele), 8.7km; QBC 1b (Ketu-Alapere-Akanimodo), 4.7km; QBC 2 (Abule Egba-Iju Ishaga), 8.76km; and QBC 3 (Iyana-Iba-Igando), 13km. As part of the development, LAMATA will construct laybys, signalized junctions, and new terminals while also upgrading existing transport hubs.
QBC 1 will feature four new terminals at Cele, Lawanson, Ojuelegba, and Alapere, as well as enhancements to the Ketu and Mile 12 BRT terminals.
QBC 2 will include a new integrated terminal linked to the Iju rail station. At the same time, QBC 3 will see upgrades to the Ikotun terminal and the creation of a new facility at Iyana-Iba.
LAMATA’s Technical Adviser for Roads and Infrastructure, Engr. Adeyemi Adeniji, during the kick-off meeting, assured contractors that funding for the project had been secured, provided they adhered to contractual agreements.
