The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has reaffirmed that the travel cowry card remains the only acceptable means of payment for all state-owned transport systems.

The Managing Director of LAMATA, KOLAWOLE OJELABI said this in an interview in Lagos.

This is following complaints by commuters that some mini shuttle buses insist on collecting cash instead of allowing them to tap in with their cowry cards.

OJELABI said feedback was crucial for the government to understand loopholes in the service it provided.

The LAMATA boss urged commuting Lagosians to report such violations via the appropriate channels.
