FG begins free CNG bus service in Abuja…buses to convey passengers for 40 days
The Federal Government (FG) has commenced a free Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) bus service in Abuja to ease the high transportation costs for residents in the capital city.
Last week, the government, through the Ministry of Transportation, handed over 15 Compressed Natural Gas-powered buses to three transport unions to serve the purpose.
The CNG buses began operations on December 2, 2024, as shown in a video shared by the Presidential CNG Initiative on its X page.
The government had announced that the buses would convey passengers free of charge for the next 40 days till January 6, 2025.
Reports said that the buses would operate along popular routes from Abuja suburbs such as Mararaba to Eagle Square and Berger Bus Stop.
The transport unions that benefitted from the gesture include the National Road Transport Workers Union, the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners, and the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria.
