Ben Murray-Bruce Canvases For Mass Transit To Be Subsidised

Senator representing Bayelsa East and a staunch advocate of Commonsense Revolution, Ben Murray-Bruce has canvassed for Mass Transit To Be subsidised in place of much controversial petrol subsidy.



He made this known earlier today using his Twitter account @benmurraybruce.

He posited that instead of fuel subsidy, what FG/states should do is subsidise mass transit so citizens buy a travel card for all forms of public transport

If we subsidize Mass Transit, it will mean that only the poor and low income, who actually use mass transit, benefit, not rich Nigerians.


A Subsidize Mass Transit Programme will help build the capacity of our mass transit infrastructure and provide Nigerians badly needed jobs

The president, ministers, Governors and other maximum wage earners dont pay for petrol, so why shouldn't they Subsidize Mass Transit for the poor? He queried.
