OLORUNDARE ENIMOLA, Lagos
The Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) has announced that the recently launched Omi Bus Ferries are now fully operational with Cowry Cards, the same convenient payment system already in use across other public transportation modes in Lagos State. This Integration ensures seamless travel options for our passengers, fostering an interconnected transport network within the state.
A press statement from the Ministry of Transportation states; "we are committed to prioritizing the safety and peace of mind of our commuters. To this end, the Omi Bus Ferry fleet is insured by LASACO Assurance, providing robust coverage and reinforcing our pledge to deliver secure and reliable services on our inland waterways.
"Other safety features onboard the Omi Bus ferries include standard life jackets, life buoys, fire extinguishers, and pyrotechnics. It also has a non-slip deck mat and a public address system."
Furthermore, the OMI-BUS has a stereo system, LED lighting, and USB charging points ensuring a comfortable sailing experience.
With fewer CO2 emissions that are eco friendly, these locally made OMI-BUS have received international recognition for its safety standards from Inter-ferry, a global ferry association.
The general public is thereby invited to take advantage of the ferry alternative for a faster and reliable journey around Lagos.
