Petition for Safe, Reliable, and Affordable Public Transportation in Nigeria

We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Nigeria, are concerned about the poor state of public transportation systems across the country.

Many Nigerians rely on public transport daily to get to work, school, hospitals, and markets. However, inadequate buses and trains, poor maintenance, overcrowding, unsafe vehicles, irregular schedules, and high fares have made public transportation unreliable and stressful for commuters.

The lack of efficient public transportation has increased traffic congestion, raised transportation costs, and reduced productivity. In many areas, citizens are forced to depend on unsafe or informal transport options, putting lives at risk and increasing the likelihood of accidents.

A functional public transportation system is essential for economic growth, social inclusion, environmental sustainability, and improved quality of life. Without it, millions of Nigerians continue to face unnecessary hardship in their daily lives.

Our Demands:

1. Investment in modern, safe, and well-maintained public transport systems.

2. Expansion of affordable bus and rail services across urban and rural areas.

3. Improved safety standards, regulation, and maintenance of public transport vehicles.

4. Fair and regulated transport fares to protect commuters from exploitation.

5. Clear transport policies that prioritize accessibility and sustainability.

Conclusion:

We respectfully urge all levels of government to prioritize the development of safe, reliable, and affordable public transportation systems across Nigeria.

By signing this petition, we call for decisive action to improve mobility, safety, and economic opportunity for all Nigerians.

Concerned Citizens and Daily Commuters of Nigeria
