Lawalakin: To people asking what BRT is finding on a railway track. This particular bus is a Lagos state government staff bus probably conveying staffs to Alawusa, ikeja and it has to cross a railway track at PWD to enter ikeja. There is a road crossing the track and thats where you enter ikeja from. So many cars cross that track per day and in the evening, people get caught up in traffic while on the track. There is usually someone there to stop vehicles when the train is approaching so how this accident happened is just sketchy, maybe the person was not there. May God spare the lives of as many as possible staff on that bus.
