We currently operate on two BRT corridors across Lagos State- Ikorodu-TBS and Oshodi-Abule-Egba BRT corridors.

The Lagos State Government Agency, LAMATA (Lagos State Metropolitan Area Transport Authority) gave BRT operator licenses to about four operators across the state. Primero is one of the four BRT operators in Lagos.

Sanwo-Olu stated that, “My government will never tolerate the attack of protesters. Security agents will immediately protect peaceful protesters from miscreants”.
