Lagos – The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) says it will begin impoundment of unpainted commercial vehicles from Monday, November 7.

This is in view of the need to comply with the laws and regulations guiding the operation of all commercial vehicle operators in the state.

The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Bolaji Oreagba, warned warned that all intra-state commercial bus operators must ensure that their vehicles are painted in red or yellow with black stripes or be impounded by the government.

Speaking on Saturday in Oshodi, Lagos, Oreagba said the agency would begin an enforcement exercise on all unpainted commercial vehicles from Monday across the state.

He said the warning was to ensure that commercial bus operators, especially those on intra-state services comply with the existing law of Lagos State Transport Sector Reform Law, 2018 in order to restore sanity on the roads and protect the lives and property of Lagosians.

The LASTMA boss emphasized that all mini-buses known as ‘Danfo’ including ‘Korope’ should be painted in yellow with black stripes while mass transit buses with two doors are to be painted with approved red colour by operators.

Oreagba also noted that all buses that have been authorised to ply Victoria Island and its environs with an approved colour must all be registered through the various established offices.

The General Manager, therefore, urged all commercial bus operators to comply with the warning in their own interest,.

He added that LASTMA officers had been directed to impound any commercial bus not painted in the approved Lagos State colour of red or yellow with black stripes and that any vehicle impounded would not be released until the needful was done in accordance with the Law.

“All commercial buses must be duly registered with commercial plate numbers and hackney permits issued by the appropriate authority in Lagos.

“Also, all approved area shuttle buses must henceforth restrict their operations to their ‘approved’ areas of coverage as anyone caught outside their jurisdiction would be impounded and charged to court accordingly,” he stated.

He also advised all intra-state commercial bus operators to desist from violating traffic rules like illegal parking, loading or discharging of passengers at unapproved bus stops, driving without seat belts, driving on kerbs/medians/walkways, BRT corridors, driving against traffic, illegal U-turn and obstructions, among others.
