In what looks likes the Lagos State government’s arrangement towards
getting a replacement for the commercial motorcycle transport system
(popularly called Okada), a cable car company, Ropeways Transport
Limited, is set to launch a cable car mass urban transit system in the
nation’s commercial capital.
This is as a result of the signing
of a 30-year Franchise Agreement by Ropeways Transport Limited, the
Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) and the Lagos State
Government recently.
According to the Tribune, which reported
the story, under the terms of the agreement, Ropeways Transport will
this November begin the construction of towers, stations and connecting
network cables along various routes covered in the first phase of the
project, namely, Ijora–Iddo, Iddo–Adeniji, Apapa–Oluwole,
Oluwole–Adeniji, Adeniji–Obalende, Obalende–Falomo, and Falomo–Victoria
Island, just as the project is expected to be fully completed and
commissioned by early 2015.
