�SCOPE AND PARAMETERS OF THE SURVEY

The study focused only on 1) Mode Choice and 2) Trip frequency because all efforts to gather data on trip time and trip distance proved abortive.

� Home-Work trip only accounted for 36 per cent of all trips while Non-home related trips accounted for 25 per cent of all trips; and one-third of all trip purposes were served by public transit mode.

Trip Purpose Matrix

� There is no significant variation or difference in daily number of trips made by the people with the use of ICT; this is because that the use of ICT may not absolutely increase or decrease the amount of trips that take place but it has great influence on when, where, and how to travel.

� Trips for shopping and business are the most substituted trips, work and business trips are the most complemented trips, and trips for shopping, private and visitation are the most modified trips of the daily trips.

� The general observation and respondents’ perception gave credence that the general transportation system of Lagos is not satisfactory and the highly transportation needs and desires of the people is the integrated transport system that will reduce congestion, safe time and give room to safety.

� Sources of financing transportation is identified to be majorly from public source, that is, fiscal allocation from government, general tax collection, toll collection, licensing and registration fees.

�CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

� Transport is an essential key to movement of people, goods, information and ideas; and to access land uses for various activities because without any movement it is impossible to acquire or fulfil the daily needs. Consequent upon this, understanding of traffic situation, travel demand and mobility behaviour of people are the basic support for making transportation development strategies, planning and policies.

� Provision of affordable, convenience, conducive, effective, safe and physically accessible public transport, giving priority to integrate collective modes of transport with adequate carrying capacity and frequency that support basic needs and the main traffic flow.

�INTRODUCTION

The tremendous increase in population and urbanization of Lagos poses a lot of challenges particularly urban transport system which is under great stress of traffic flow. In order to ensure that transportation systems and services adequately meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population of Lagos, there is need to understand the mobility behaviour of the people. Mobility behaviour deals with who, when, where, why, how and how often we travel.

� There is considerably variation in mobility decision, mode choice and number of trips made across the socio-economic characteristics of the people.

� Available and use modes in the study area are walking, motorbike (Okada), taxi-cab (Keke NAPEP), private car, public transit.

� Public transit dominated the mode choice of people to various purpose of activities but private car is the dominant mode choice in Ikeja and Ifako-Ijaye LGAs, also socio-economic characteristics who are aged, full-time workers, high income earners and high household size predominantly adopted private car as their mode choice. There is average of one car per household.

� Regression analysis confirmed that the availability of different modes cannot predict the trip frequency of the people.
