Lagos State has banned new diesel buses from its regulated public transport fleet and mandated the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) or electric vehicles to reduce emissions and operating costs. The transition supports Lagos' net-zero emissions target for 2050 and addresses rising diesel prices without increasing fares.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must switch from diesel to CNG or electric buses to operate in Lagos' regulated fleet. New opportunities open for CNG and EV suppliers as diesel routes close to newcomers.
