The spokesperson said that the BRT had not been operating since Friday, adding that, the state government had also declared curfew which means no transporter could operate from 4 p.m on Tuesday.
“We are hoping something better will come out of the situation because, presently, the situation has impacted negatively on our business in terms of revenue generation.
“We have lost over N100 million in the last six days but we decided to stop operations to avoid damage to our vehicles and also for the safety of commuters as an organisation.
“We value our customers more importantly; that is why we stopped operation due to the volatility of the state especially in Ikorodu.
