Abstract

Tricycle (KEKE NAPEP) as a mean of public transport in Nigeria has come to stay and becoming a dominant mean for public transport in Minna, Nigeria. This paper aimed to assess the operation and management of Tricycle as a means of public transport in Minna. Two separate structured questionnaires were used to collect data on the operators and passengers perceptions on the tricycle operations. The result was subjected to a hypothetical test, using ANOVA and Chi-Square, and descriptive technique as a method of analysis. The findings reveal that a high percentage (38.2%) of KEKE NAPEP ownership is on the hire purchase agreement, and there are high maintenance expenses (67.6%). Also, possible recommendations were provided on how to curb the identified challenges, which include; ACOMORAN should mediate between her members and investors in seeking loans and conclusion of hire purchasing agreement. Furthermore, they should ensure favourable loan tenure for her members; the government should subsidise spare parts and ensure proper road maintenance so that the rates of wear and tear of vehicles part are reduced.

Abstract

The study investigated the impact of crime on interstate road transport operations in north-central Nigeria. The study relies on descriptive statistics to describe the features of the populations. 200 questionnaires were purposefully administered to the four major interstate motor parks in the capital of some north-central states (i.e., Minna, Lokoja, Benue, and Lafia) using random sampling techniques. The gathered data was analysed using percentages and charts, while the T-test statistics were used to test the study hypothesis. The result shows that there is a statistically significant influence of crimes on interstate transport operations in north-central Nigeria. The study concluded that improving the safety of the road transport network will motivate transport operators to operate more efficiently on the routes.

Abstract

Informal public transport, as a mode of transportation, offers flexibility to users by allowing them to access services conveniently. However, its mode of operation poses significant challenges, particularly regarding safety, thereby undermining the core objective of ensuring safe travel. This study employs a survey research design to investigate passengers' safety perceptions in informal public transport along the Lokoja-Okene transport corridor. A total of 300 questionnaires were purposefully distributed among commuters using the Lokoja-Okene transport network, with 255 valid responses analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The relationship between passenger safety and factors influencing it was analysed using multiple regression analysis. The findings identified eight key factors affecting passenger safety, including vehicle condition (37.5%), driver driving behavior (41.9%), poor road conditions (57.7%), overloading (42.6%), and driver operational behaviour (46%). Furthermore, a statistically significant relationship was established between passenger safety and factors such as driver behavior, operational practices, and vehicle condition, which were found to influence passengers' safety perceptions positively. In conclusion, informal public transport operations along the Lokoja-Okene road network are deemed highly unsafe. The study recommends, among other measures, that Kogi State Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIOs) implement mandatory periodic inspections for vehicles operating in informal public transport along this route.
