Primero Transport Services Ltd., operator of Bus Rapid Transit in Lagos, says it is planning an upward review of transport fares across all routes in the state to meet up with current realities.

The Managing Director of the firm, Fola Tinubu, made the disclosure in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Tuesday.

The managing director said: “Primero is planning to approach the regulator for an increase in fares.
