The average fare paid by commuters for bus journeys within Nigerian cities increased by 2.43 per cent to ₦1,431 in May 2026, according to the latest Transport Fare Watch report released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
The report indicates that the increase reflects the continued rise in transportation costs across the country, placing additional financial pressure on commuters.
The NBS noted that the average fare for bus trips within cities recorded both month-on-month and year-on-year increases, highlighting the persistent impact of inflation and other economic factors on the transport sector.
The Transport Fare Watch report tracks changes in the cost of various modes of transportation nationwide and serves as a key indicator of trends affecting commuters and the broader economy.
The latest figures underscore the growing cost of living, with transportation remaining one of the major expenses for many Nigerians.
