On Friday September 27, 2013 the Lagos State Waterways
Authority (LASWA) revealed that an average of 1.8 million passengers now travel
by water monthly around the state, as much as 1.5 million was recorded as at
June. It was disclosed that the increase in patronage was because more people
were getting aware of the boat operators and found them as a way to avoid the
heavy traffic on Lagos roads.
117 vessels are being operated by 47 operators on the
waterways, and more are being expected. Many people were opting for the
waterways to get to their destinations in good time.
LASWA stated that the movement from Lagos Island to Ikorodu
takes about 25 minutes; it takes the same time to get to Ojo. So, more people are getting aware that they
can get to their destinations safely and quicker by water.
