The drivers of Edo Intra City Bus, popularly called ‘Comrade Bus’ are giving priority attention to passengers with E.C.T.S credit card in line with the directive of the state government.
Speaking with our reporters who visited the Comrade Bus loading bay at Oba market Road, by Oba Ovoranmen Square and Mission Road Benin City, one of the drivers who pleaded anonymity revealed that there has been a directive from the state government to give preference to passengers with credit card.
According to him, “Only those that have the credit card are allowed to enter the bus first before others who do not have the card.
Emphasizing on the importance of the E.C.T.S credit card, the driver enjoined the passengers who do not have the credit card to try and purchase theirs.
The card allows a passenger to board the Bus for five consecutive times, according to the driver. In addition, Obayuwana Philip, a student of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) and three other respondents stressed that the credit card has really been useful and helpful as well.
“I always have this believe that whenever I get to the bus stop, I must enter the bus; that is the edge I have over those that are yet to purchase the credit card”, Philip said.
