  • Welcome back to my channel. Thank you for staying tuned. I'm super excited sharing my Nigeria travel experience with you, In this video, I experienced my first train experiece in Lagos, Nigeria as a Ghanaian, it was awesome. I hope you enjoy this video.
    Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, sprawls inland from the Gulf of Guinea across Lagos Lagoon. Victoria Island, the financial center of the metropolis, is known for its beach resorts, boutiques and nightlife. To the north, Lagos Island is home to the National Museum Lagos, displaying cultural artifacts and craftworks. Nearby is Freedom Park, once a colonial-era prison and now a major venue for concerts and public events. ― Google

    I salute you for saying the truth about your first time of boarding a train, there is always a day in the life of everyone to start doing some things. Watching from Europe. There's a lot of Ghanaians with me here, they are wonderful brothers, only we argued on whos Jollof is the best between Nigeria and Ghana. The two country are 5 & 6.🤠

      Those are private. State government is already replacing them with the blue buses. Just like the train you can only access the blue buses with the card. People go for the blue buses because they have dedicated lanes and they have a fixed price as well as comfortable interiors. They don't stuff in more people into the bus to make extra cash and that's something the yellow buses are known for.

      @gabaski1885 6 місяців тому

      The truth is that the rest of Lagos don't know how the people over in that part of Lagos see the rest of Lagos now. this guy has just told u how does living in that part of the state see the rest of the people still living in the mainland. look that's where u see a lot of people living fake lives although the state government statistic show that the local government is the richest in the state and also generates almost 90% of the state GDP and the reality is that there are more successful Nigerians living in that part of the state and also has a lot of access to good infrastructures and both government and private investment too. so to he's word as someone who has visited that place and like to live in that part of the state and also own an investment over there I will not take offense to what he said but the way he has said it am sure will put a lot of Nigerians off but not a lot of people hunting for success any way because that place is the only local government area in the whole of Lagos that u can enjoy about 95% of real estate that are about 25 to 30 old that's to tell u that most time when u get any type of apartment in that part of the state the possibility of u been the first person in the apartment or the second or third tenant is very high that how to tell u about the newness of a very vase and develop area is u can also give it a try as a Nigerian it's worth trying mostly when u have cash or contacts in that area but if u go there to roam they will not entertain u at all because they only wants the already made not the hustlers that's how life is over there

      imagine all these buses on the streets of london or Berlin. BRT should be the only thing allowed. I was thinking if it could be set by law that conductors can't be shouting for passengers, such a mess and noise pollution. We enter buses in europe, we use buses in america, but they don't need conductors shouting because they use their heads to develop a system where that wouldn't be needed.

      @emmanuelogundipe3328 7 місяців тому +8

      The yellow buses are the trademark of Lagos they operate in Lagos and Ogun State. However the section of the yellow buses in Lagos are privately owned public transport sector. They are run by private operators and they're currently the only transport operators still taking cash payment in Lagos. The Blue buses are of different sizes and made for different purposes large and medium buses (BRT) ply the major roads while the small buses like the ones at the station take you to your final destination (doorstep) They are only accessible with the COWRY card (same card used on the train) which is also being used on the LAG FERRY. Whenever you're required to use the COWRY Card, either it on the bus, train or ferry, just know that you're using the government owned transport system.
