Disabled Nigerians battle when using minibus taxis – they share their experiences

As an academic researcher with a focus on transport, education and financial services, I teach the marketing and advertising of these services.

Key Points: 
  • As an academic researcher with a focus on transport, education and financial services, I teach the marketing and advertising of these services.
  • In my latest research, I explored interactions between commuters with disabilities and transport services providers in the densely populated Lagos state.
  • Commuters with disabilities express constant dissatisfaction with the poor service quality provided by danfo (minibus) operators in Lagos.
  • Apart from enhancing their wellbeing and quality of life, this could also improve the image of Lagos.

The study

    • Danfos – small yellow para-transit buses often derived from retrofitted Volkswagen vans – are the most popular form of public transport in Lagos.
    • They accommodate 14 to 18 commuters and can be very uncomfortable when passengers are packed together.

Before riding

    • They felt anxious and uncertain because there were no fixed schedules and bus availability was unreliable.
    • They didn’t believe they needed technology to aid their informal business because even without it, they were exceeding their targets.
    • I found a general lack of awareness and empathy towards the needs of disabled commuters.

While riding

    • Bus rapid transit services in Lagos were seen as more supportive, but participants mainly used unregulated private buses.
    • Formal buses operate on a specific route, while danfos operate on their regular route.
    • One participant with a hearing impairment told me:
      The bus conductors and drivers can be very rude.
    • They can shout at you, pull you down if you are struggling to get down or they will treat you like you are nobody.

Disembarking

    • Accessibility issues arose, like struggles to attract the attention of bus conductors and the rush to exit as conductors called in more passengers.
    • I do this because they don’t like stopping at my bus stop – always grumbling that I am making them lose customers.
    • I do this because they don’t like stopping at my bus stop – always grumbling that I am making them lose customers.

What needs to be done about it

    • One proposed solution is to launch a social campaign aimed at raising awareness about the challenges faced by commuters with disabilities.
    • This would encourage operators to make small changes to enhance service quality.
    • This social enterprise could provide a service similar to London’s Dial-a-ride, where commuters with disabilities can pre-book buses.
