In Nigeria today, road transportation accounts for the ireat majority of goods
/ haulage activities, and remains largely the major channel for movement of people. In the
urban areas of the country, in particular where enginc powered vehicles are dominantly in
use, some 80 percent of human movement activitics are undertakcn in private motor cars
(Ogegbo. 1077). On the contrary, facilities for movement of people by means of urban
mass transit 2: still inadeqimtcly developed. Most of the mass transit activities by road
have been mainly undertaken by the private sector.
