The government has done to well to provide convenient and affordable buses for its citizens but these buses need to be maintained regularly. They do not only need to be maintained but some also need to be replaced with new and road worthy buses. Some of the El-rufai buses in Abuja have seen better days and now look like glorified molues. Some of the BRT buses in Lagos are suddenly bursting in flames, hereby, risking the lives of unsuspecting Nigerians who choose these buses as their means of transportation. It would do all stakeholders involved a lot of good if these buses are constantly serviced and put in good condition for the safety of the drivers, passengers and road users.
