 Some motor parks in Ibadan, Oyo state capital on Thursday, recorded low turnout of passengers  compared to last week when the festive period was around the corner.

During  a visit to Dugbe and Oke Padre intra city motor parks, some commercial vehicles and tricycles were on queue while operators were calling on passengers.

One of the leaders of the park management system at Dugbe, Mr Daniel Egha said passengers were still in the mood of celebrating the new year.   

Radio Nigeria also observed that  some private inter state motor parks had few vehicles without passengers on board.

 At Ojoo inter state bus terminal, many vehicles were on ground with few passengers boarding them.

Commenting on the low turn out, the deputy chairman, of Ojoo park management system, Mr Sunday Opeyemi said the low turnout was natural saying passengers were still relieving themselves of the stress experienced in 2024.

Speaking on the transportation fare, Mr Opeyemi said Ibadan to Lagos is N4,000 while Ibadan to Kaduna is N23,000.

Ibadan to Abuja according to Mr Opeyemi cost N25,000  while Ibadan to Jos goes for N30,000.

Mr Opeyemi said the fare was not increased as fuel scarcity often recorded during festive period was not recorded in the new new year.
