The
Lagos State Government on Thursday said commercial vehicles, from May 4, 2020,
will operate from 6am to 7pm daily.
Commercial
motorcycle riders and inter-state travels were suspended indefinitely.
The
guidelines were revealed by the state Commissioner for Transportation, Dr
Frederic Oladeinde.
The
commissioner also urged passengers and commuters to always wear face masks, use
hand sanitisers, wash their hands with soap under running water before and
after each trip.
“All
transport operators and companies are expected to disinfect their vehicles,
parks and garages regularly and continuously in collaboration with and under
the supervision of the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, in
order to ensure standards and safety of the disinfectant being used.
“Motor
parks and garages must not be overcrowded with passengers and commercial
activities at any point in time. Social distancing is required for passengers
queuing to board buses.
“All
public buses should be 60 per cent capacity, i.e. for buses one passenger with
driver in front seat, two passengers on the back rows each and two passengers
