This is to notify relevant authorities and the general public of the threat that the long "mass commuter buses" (with the TaTa sign) which ply the Mile 2 - Oshodi axis of Lagos metropolis.
A reliable complainant has it that the drivers of these buses turn to something else at night, as if they deliberately get drunk in order to allow them perpetrate these acts. At nights, it is noticed that these drivers drive very rough, some even engage in what seems like a race among them selves, with fully loaded buses; recklessly overtaking not just themselves, but heavy duty trailers that ply the road at night, thereby endangering commuters lives.

Worse is that when passengers complain or start shouting at these excess speed, the drivers either turn from the steering, or even roughly pack their buses and invite the passengers to a brawl.this development was notice about a month ago."you need to see it for your self, the driver was driving as if he was being chased. and when some passengers accosted him to take it easy, he roughly stopped the bus and started fighting the passenger. when other passengers intervened, he equally challenged every body, cursing us all; some of his colleagues then tried to pacify him. When we get to bus-stops, he hardly stops for passengers to alight. i alighted before we got to oshodi out of fear. my balance was with them, I didn't mind. my life is more precious abeg. this has been going on for well over a month now, that is my route most evenings. i have plates numbers of two buses in-which i experienced this reckless driving. there are: XZ996 AGL (experienced on 17th /04/13 at night), and XK679 EPE (experienced on 18th/04/13 at night) they should be called to order before lives get lost through avoidable accidents" said a commuters.
