| ...Some hoodlums have capitalised on the diversion to extort money from commercial bus drivers. |
As the repairs on the Third Mainland
Bridge began on Monday, passengers had a hectic time going to the Island
as major Lagos roads were completely blocked for hours.
Few commercial
drivers that plied the roads cashed in on the situation to increase their fares.
In some cases, fares were hiked by between 25 and 50 per cent depending on the routes.
The ferry service also profited from the situation as a lot of people got to the Island through the waterways.
Parts of Third Mainland Bridge were
cordoned off, causing traffic congestion on the bridge and the
alternative routes connecting the mainland to Lagos Island.
...Welcome To Lagos
