Segment 1: Local bus operations

Segments 1 and 2 were aggregated into a single reportable operating segment, based on similar business characteristics, and the nature of their products and services. In the local bus operations market, the Lagos State Transport Authority awards the contract and pays Agbero for its services. Contracts for local bus operations are awarded via a competitive tender process, and ticket prices are set and paid to the Lagos State Transport Authority.
