Some Commuters in Nyanya, Abuja, have called on the FCT administration to provide safer motor parks to ease transportation in Abuja.
Some of the commuters who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN on Thursday in Abuja said getting transport to town had become more difficult since the Nyanya Motor park bomb explosion.
Georgina Iwuoha, a civil servant said if there were other parks and vehicles, passengers would not face the difficulty they were now facing.
“Providing safe motor parks will ease transportation; people will not concentrate on only one park; rather they will spread out to use other parks,’’ she said.
Mrs Lola Akiditere told NAN that the banning of the small buses popularly called “Araba’’ contributed to the transport challenges being faced by commuters.
“If people did not gather to queue in order to enter high capacity buses that were not enough they would not have died enmass.
“Since the bomb blast, commuters have been suffering to get transport motor into and out of the area. It is really terrible.
“People wake up as early as 4 a.m. to catch the available vehicles to town,’’ she said.
Mr Solomon Vincent, a public servant said he had to pay for a ride to work with private cars owners who charge high transport fare.
Vincent noted that though the high capacity buses were not available but passengers have had to make do with some private cars and coaster buses that ply the road.
Another commuter, Gani Sanni, said the Federal Government should try and maintain 24 hours security checking at the entrance of the city to avoid further problem.
“Since the bomb explosion, it has not been easy for me as a commuter because I patronise the Nyanya motor park frequently.
“I am always on transit to Minna, Niger state and other northern places for my business but I find it difficult now because I utilise the park always,” Sani said.
