To alleviate the problems of mass transportation faced by
residents of Lagos, the state government in partnership with a cable car
company, Ropeways Transport Limited, is set to launch a cable car mass
urban transit system.
The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA)
and Ropeways Transport Limited have signed a 30-year Franchise Agreement
to this effect.
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. The project is expected to be fully completed and commissioned
by early 2015.
