Kano state government has suspended the restriction order stopping tricycle from operating on some major roads of the state.
Addressing a news conference, Managing Director of the state roads and transport agency, Baffa Babba says the decision is due to the lack of adequate preparation by the bus mass transit company to commence operation as at Wednesday 30th.
The MD says the restriction is suspended until further notice.
Earlier, the government had ordered tricyclists to stay away from selected major township roads within the metropolis, effective Wednesday, November 30.
The major township roads the tricycles are banned include Ahmadu Bello way by Mundubawa to Gezawa (Hadejia road) and Tal’udu to Gwarzo road.
It added that the provision of mass transit buses will go a long way in easing the hardship faced by commuters.
The Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State was officially flagged off the Kano City Mass Transit Scheme.
At the launch, the governor commissioned 100 buses and 50 taxis, saying the mass transit project was aimed at addressing transportation challenges along Jogana, Yankura to Janguza corridor.
