This study evaluates commercial bus operation in metropolitan Lagos and it focuses on LASU-Isheri corridor. In order to achieve the aim of the study, the following objectives were pursued; to evaluate the profile of passenger along LASU-Isheri corridor, to evaluate the profile commercial bus operator along LASU-Isheri corridor and to examine how price irregularity affects commercial bus operation along LASU-Isheri corridor.
It employs Non-parametric techniques to find the relationship between the variables recognized such as route length, journey time, vehicle capacity and government subsidy of vehicles along the study corridor. Findings gathered from the analysis of commuters and drivers’ opinion revealed that there is a strong positive correlation between fare and three of the variables stated above.
The study recommends that a flat fare or distance related fare should be encouraged along the study area while efficient traffic management techniques should be adopted by government to ease congestion in order to reduce journey time of commuters along the study area. A further research may be needed to be carried out to determine the bus stop capacity which was not covered in this study.
