I entered one of these buses today from Onions market to Ariaria junction in Aba, Abia State. The first thing that hit me was the AC. These buses are electric buses charged using solar energy. They do not run on petrol or diesel. The driver used a speaker to call bus stops while a lady dressed in uniform coordinated. This makes the cost very affordable. I paid ₦200. I was told that if I was to drop at a much further distance, I would still pay ₦200. If I had a card however, it would be ₦150. A tricyclists told me today that although Alex Otti is doing well, one of their fears is that his buses which are beginning to penetrate many places may drive them out of business with much cheaper prices. Aba is full of life. No dull moment. Light is taken for granted here. Typing from my hotel in Aba.
