The National Union of Road Transport Workers, Lagos Chapter, on Tuesday advised its members not to panic over the proposed ban on operations of yellow commercial buses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The state Chairman of the union, Mr. Tajudeen Agbede, on Tuesday said that the union was discussing the proposed ban with the government, adding that the union was ready to cooperate with the state government on its mega city project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode had on February 6 announced a plan to stop operations of yellow commercial buses popularly known as \u2018danfo\u2019 for a more efficient, well-structured and world-class mass transport system.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ambode said that the well-structured transport system would ease movement within the state and make Lagos cleaner without burdening the people in terms of taxes.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWe are still discussing with the government on the proposed ban on yellow buses, but we believe it is going to yield a positive result.<\/span><\/p>
