Over 112,000 passengers benefited from the 50% fare reduction on inter-state routes since the implementation of the federal government's announced offer. This information was disclosed in a statement released by the Association of Luxury Bus Owners of Nigeria (ALBON).

The statement was signed by Nonso Ubajaka, the National President, and Frank Nneji, the Honorary Secretary.

The statement emphasized that ALBON member companies are actively working to encourage more passengers to avail themselves of the government's ticket rebate for travel to various destinations.

ALBON said: "And in view of the fact that many of the people who travelled for Christmas and the New Year celebrations, are likely to start returning to base soon, we have again mobilised our members for the return journeys.”

The organization also announced plans to engage state-owned transit companies, including Gombe State Mass Transit and Borno State Mass Transit, among others, to collaborate on the return leg of the seasonal travels.
