Jejeloye, who described the level of compliance as ‘very impressive’, warned recalcitrant riders to desist as the long arm of the law would catch up with them sooner or later.
“It’s better to comply voluntarily than through force which has its consequences, including jail term,” he said.
It was observed that the enforcement of the ban was largely effective in many parts of the state.
Some commuters in Isolo and Ejigbo areas of the state trekked to their bus stops where they boarded buses.
