 And now to some Christmas stories. Families, especially mothers and the children, stormed the parks for early boarding to the destinations for the U-Tide. However, they have been complaining of the high cost of transport. Transporters are saying the increase eases a result of several factors, ranging from increase in fuel costs to bad roads. Other factors are maintenance, levees, extortion by security personnel, among others. Our correspondent, Jacinta Buchu, was at Jibo Lagos to fill the pores of the people, her report. Jibo is majorly a commercial area with so many transport businesses. It's a popular interchange in Lagos. In the spirit of U-Tide season, plus TV Africa visited the scene, and as usual, transporters were loading their buses. The transport workers didn't seem satisfied with their turnover so far. The complaint of low turnout of travellers compared to last year. We used to load much luxuries but this time due to the financial instability of the country, things aren't going up well. Passengers aren't coming up again because of no money to travel. There's not much like people that travelled last year. Like last year, people go full everywhere here. But this year, people are just managing to travel. The turnout of people these days are few because there's no money for people to travel. People are coming and they are complaining that it's too high. Travelers too were not finding it easy. They complained of a tragic course of transport. They blamed the act on the grid of the transport operators saying it has been an old practice by transport industry operators. Some said it's due to state of economy, poor governance and policies. Since Christmas time, once in a year, we get to meet our families. People that have not seen for a long time get to see them this time. But the transport is really high. Because from Legos to get there, today is $19,500. They still have to pay for your luggage. It's not easy. As of last year, I think it's very, very cheaper than nowadays. As of last year, we were travelling with $12,500. But here, almost $17,000 something. We don't have a monetary system. We don't have price control and all that. As a result, the price must surely not be the same rather it will go up. They also shared some of the expectations come 2022. Well, my expectation is that I advise the governments and people in charge let them consider the avalanche Nigerians that is suffering. Let them have fixed price. Not this one, charge 20, this one, 21, this one, 15. This one like this is not good. Let them help as in the decision of this country. Maybe let them create a job awareness for things like that for the youth. The travellers also disclose that they are disturbed about the rising insecurity on the roads. For many of them, being with dead loved ones at Christmas is worth all the sacrifice and travel risk. Jacinta Ubiuku for PLOS TV Africa.
