According to the schedule, the new routes covers Lagos to Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, and Akure, the Ondo State capital.
The routes are being operated by the National Union of Road Transport Workers from the bus terminal in Oshodi, Lagos State as seen in the video of commuters who had a refund given to them after paying the full fare to Akure.
Instead of the regular N6,500 fare, the commuters were refunded N3,250 each.
