LAGOS CABLE CAR WILL TAKE OFF

Ropeways Transport and the Lagos State Government will launch a $500M (N75B) cable mass urban transit system, partly financed by the African Development Bank. Construction of towers, stations and connecting network cables along mapped-out routes will begin in November and is expected to create about 500 direct jobs after completion in 2015, with commuters paying between $1.20 (N180) and $2 (N300) per trip. The cable car system is rated as one of the safest means of transport worldwide. There are 222 vehicles per kilometre of road in Lagos, far more than the national average of 11. By 2015 Lagos is expected to become the world's third largest city with 25m inhabitants, with approximately 12m daily passenger movements.

Fingers crossed.
