LASTMA Warns LagRide Operators Against Traffic Violations

The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has warned operators/drivers of LagosRide Taxi in the state against disobedience to the Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law of 2018.

The director  of Public Affairs LASTMA, Adebayo Taofiq in a statement on Sunday said the General Manager, of LASTMA, Bolaji Oreagba sounded the warning when top management of Ibile Holdings Limited, owners of ‘LagosRide’ Taxi led by its Chief Executive Officer, Abiodun Amokomowo paid a working visit to LASTMA Headquarters at Oshodi, Lagos.

“Oreagba said the warning became imperative to check excesses of the operators/drivers who do not usually consider the safety of other road users and their penchant for disregarding traffic law while on the road.

In his words: “Let me state here clearly that impunity of drivers of these ‘LagosRide’ Taxi driving on BRT corridors/obstructions on major roads is becoming alarming and as a responsible and responsive agency of government, we would no longer condone their recklessness as we shall continue to apply the full weight of the Law on motorists found contravening any sections of the Traffic Laws”, the statement read.
