    Assessment of the Influence of Lagos Bus Rapid Transit Scheme (BRT-Lite) on Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) on Lagos Mainland-Island Corridor
    (The Open Transportation Journal, 2017) Ajayi, Adeyinka
    Background: This paper filled an important gap in the on-going global assessment of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) operations on Road Traffic Crashes (RTC) safety outcomes on corridors plied. Introduction: The work carried out a scientific investigation of the impact of Lagos BRT-Lite(Africa’s first and only BRT scheme) on the achievement of a possible reduction in the incidences of RTC on the 22-kilometer radial highway that connects Mile12 and Lagos Island the traditional central business district. Methodology: Secondary data on the incidences of RTC on the corridor between 2002 and 2013 were obtained from Nigeria Police. One-way Analysis of variance between subjects revealed that the advent of BRT operations on the corridor do not have any significant effect in the reported cases of the three categories of RTC examined. Minor (p=. 783), Serious (p= .887) and Fatal (p= .826). Data Analysis: Descriptive statistics, however, showed that there has been a general reduction in the incidences of all categories of RTC considered in the period after the commencement of BRT on the corridor. Conclusion: The paper concludes by positing that while it might be far-fetched to imply a direct causal relationship between the introduction of BRT and reduction in the cases of RTC on the corridor, it may not be far to suggest that it has definitely impacted safety outcomes as it relates to RTC.

    Public Transport Innovation: The Impact of BRT on Passengers Movement in Lagos Metropolitan Area of Nigeria
    (Medwells Journal, 2008) Oluwakoya, Adeniyi
    Efficient, effective, reliable and inexpensive public transport provision remain the lifeline of economic, social and environmental wellbeing of increasing urbanization of cities all over the world in the face of globalization and world economies integration. The public transport concept of BRT had been successfully implemented in some developed countries cities and emerging industrialized cities centers as a cost effective option of a modern public transport technologies as metro, light rail and tram service capabilities. This innovation had just been implemented in the Lagos metropolitan area of Nigeria. It is in this light that this study examines the impact of BRT in the passenger's mobility in the largest metropolitan area of Nigeria The methodology used in this study is self completion survey method, data were collected on variables of ERT passenger's mobility effectiveness, efficiency and impacts on problems of mobility in Lagos metropolis The correlation, pair sample t-test were use for the hypothesis testing. univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA for subjects interactions effects and multiple regression analys1s were tested on the dependent and the independent variable dataset. The study revealed that there is a significant impact of BRT to the passenger's mobility in Lagos metropolis and highlights the passenger's constraints while accessing BRT service in Lagos Metropolis.
