Multimodal Transit Centre in Peri -Urban Areas: Lessons for Lagos Ogun Corridor Ijoko

Abstract

Peri-urban areas are settlements found between establish urban areas and rural landscapes largely driven by rapid urban expansion and increasing travel demand such as Ijoko, the Lagos– Ogun corridor stands as a key transit zone linking Lagos and Ogun State, these areas experience significant mobility challenges, including congestion, pollution, and weak transport connectivity. Previous research has primarily relied on one mode transport system, expansion of roads and in formal modes of transit, and has thus been unable to handle the transport challenges along these corridors This study aims to examine the underling planning and design principles of successful multimodal transit centres for the Lagos Ogun corridor. The study investigates existing transport challenges in the Lagos–Ogun corridor, and further evaluates the effectiveness of multimodal transit centre while drawing insights from established transit centres in Oshodi and Ikeja and Rotherham (UK). The article used a qualitative research method, analysing case studies of existing multimodal transit centres, studies adopted where based on key performance indicators, including pedestrian accessibility, modal integration, cost efficiency, passenger usage, and safety. Contrary to other findings the research outlines basic recommendations for multimodal transit centres in peri urban areas and its applications, the importance of non-motorized systems in multimodal transit centres, the study further recommends a framework for developing inclusive multimodal transit systems that respond to the mobility needs of diverse users in peri-urban contexts
