In April 2026, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported a significant increase in transport fares across Nigeria, with the average intercity bus fare reaching N9,607.41. This surge in costs is attributed to ongoing inflationary pressures, high fuel prices, and increasing operational expenses faced by transport operators. The rising fares are impacting commuters, who are now experiencing greater financial strain as they navigate daily travel needs.
