Fuel Scarcity, Subsidy and Rain

  • Fuel scarcity days add half to every fare and to fuel.
  • The governor's transport subsidy halves danfo and keke fares.
  • Rain soaks you when you trek or ride an okada, keke or bike.
  • Okadas give a thrill boost on arrival, cabs a cool AC ride.
  • Going to work is a flat ₦150 with no trip.

The example trip runs from the Mushin room to Quilox. Living close to where you play saves fares: compare the houses by area.

Owning a vehicle: see the Lagos Life cars for price, fuel and trade-in, or the cheap Bajaj Boxer to start. Every place and its fares: the map. Gigs that need travel are in how to make money.
