Stranded commuters and some Lagbus operators expressed their dissatisfactions with the development. Commuters said commercial bus operators had seized the opportunity to exploit them by hiking bus fares.

Those who could not afford the outrageous fares were left to join the endless queue at the Ikorodu BRT corridor.

Four drivers of Primero Bus Services, operator of the Bus Rapid Transit BRT buses and a few commuters were said to have been hospitalised and more than 20 BRT buses destroyed in the early morning protest carried out by commuters and Lagbus operators.
