The decision by the Kaduna State Government to implement the Bus Rapid System has been described as a game changer for Kaduna State.
Guests on the Journalist Hangout programme on TVC News on Sunday backed the decision by the El Rufai led administration as one that is long overdue.
Adewale Adeoye said Kaduna Should have had the kind of Transportation system that the BRT will bring due to its place and position as a major hub for the Northern part of the Country.
He described it as a good move by the Kaduna State Government that should be applauded by all due to its transformational potentials for the people and the Economy of the State.
He said the introduction of the BRT Model will also ensure that the Economic dynamics of the State will be benefit immensely from the move.
For his part, Dare Odufowokan, said the good side of the BRT Transport model by the Kaduna State government should be applauded not minding the comments of pessimists.
He added that several factors account for why the move should be applauded including population explosion in the State, Rural-Urban migration from within the State and Other parts of the North to Kaduna State and the City itself.
He disclosed that the City currently faces Transportation issues that needs to be solved now before it becomes intractable.
While talking about the example of the Bus rapid Transport system in Lagos State, he said it was a plan that was designed from the off to address issues in the Transport Sector in the State and has evolved overtime since it was first introduced by the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration.
He said the rationale behind its introduction should be applauded considering how the BRT has worked in Lagos.
Comparing the population density in the operation of the BRT in Lagos to what may happen in Kaduna, he said Lagos is far more populous than Kaduna but said the BRT was the instrument to phase out the notorious Molue buses, Adewale Adeoye, said BRT has transformed the Transport Sector in Lagos State tremendously and is still doing so.
Dare Odufowokan however said the Kaduna Light rail will ensure that it can be properly linked to the Federal rail system and transform movement of Goods and Services within the State.
