Transportation companies have hiked their fares on various routes across Nigerian cities in response to the increase in petrol prices in the country.
Checks by Crossriverhub.ng show that some interstate fares have significantly increased to various parts of the country from Lagos.
On some routes, transport fares have jumped by over 100 per cent, and it is expected to get even worse, especially during the festive period.

The prices are subject to change as they will depend heavily on the location of boarding the bus and also the transport company.
