Oluwatosin OmojuyigbeCommuters on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, on Tuesday, lamented the many hours they spent in traffic and the hike in transport fares as fallen containers on the Otedola Bridge caused gridlock on the road. The commuters blamed commercial drivers for not being considerate as they did not plan for the hike in fares as two fallen containers caused gridlock on the road. One of the two containers fell right in the middle of the road, causing gridlock for Lagos-bound vehicles. A commuter, Bola Anifowose, who boarded a Berger-bound commercial bus from the Mowe area of Ogun State, said the fare was increased from N200 to N500. She lamented, “When I got to the bus stop, I saw that there were many people waiting for commercial buses.
