Christmas: Drivers Lament Low Passenger Turnout

Some commercial drivers who spoke with our reporter on Friday claim they are encountering difficulties following low patronage of travellers ahead of Christmas.

Emenike operates on the Enugu-Abuja route. He said, “We are forced to sleep at the park for many days before our turn to load comes. Some days, we load just one bus, at times two buses. Then drivers whose turn didn’t reach will wait for the next day. It is unlike before when we operated daily due to pressure from passengers.”
