Lagos Water Transport: High Fares Threaten Potential
High ferry fares are a major obstacle to the adoption of inland water transport in Lagos, despite its potential to ease traffic congestion, experts say.
Although waterways cover 22% of Lagos' landmass, linking 15 of the 20 local government areas, ferries are out of reach for many daily commuters due to high costs.
Lagos is the world's most congested city, according to Numbeo's 2025 Mid-Year Traffic Index, with average one-way road trips exceeding an hour.
High ferry fares remain a major obstacle to the widespread adoption of inland water transport in Lagos.
Experts note that roads are dominated by private vehicles and minibuses, compounding gridlock and air pollution, despite a €410 million Omi Eko push.
