A visit to some parks revealed that transport fares have been increased by as much as 50 per cent in some cases. Some people, who thought they could avoid the increase by travelling out early, were beaten to the game, as they discovered to their dismay that transport fares had already been raised.
Passengers travelling from Lagos to Kano were made to pay between N9, 000 and N10, 000 as against the old fare of N8, 000. Mr. Kayode Bakare, who is travelling from Lagos to Abuja, blamed the problem on insincerity on the part of transport operators. “The transporters are only interested in the monetary gain to the detriment of passengers. But they are not interested in rendering quality services to their helpless passengers. Must they increase transport fare every Christmas and New Year,” he queried.
Meanwhile, the Federal Road Safety Corps has assured Nigerians of free flow of traffic on the busy Lagos/Ibadan, Lagos/Badagry and Lagos/Epe Expressways during the festive season. To complement efforts of the Corp officials, however, Omeje advised motorists to maintain lane discipline and shun over-speeding to avoid crashes on the highways during the Christmas and New Year celebration.

Xmas supposed to be the time of giving. But people are turning it to a time to take from people and make people’s life’s harder. Not Godly at all
