As of now, there is no official announcement regarding an 18% increase in Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) fares in Lagos effective February 17, 2025. The most recent fare adjustment occurred in November 2023, when the Lagos State Government implemented a 25% discount discount following public outcry over the termination of a previous 50% rebate.
Prior to that, in July 2022, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu approved a flat rate increase of N100 for all BRT and standard routes to sustain operations amid rising costs.
For the most current information on BRT fare changes, it's advisable to monitor official communications from the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) and reputable news outlets.
