The challenges of car hire services at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos continue to persist despite the introduction of the Airport Car Hire Rank Management System (ACHRAMS). Passengers are still faced with high and arbitrary charges to exit Nigeria's major gateway as the system has not been fully functional.
ACHRAMS, an official digital platform, was introduced to organize taxi operations, reduce terminal congestion and improve passenger safety. However, it has not worked effectively, and the old system of canvassing for passengers has resurfaced. Operators are now calling out passengers for rides, instead of using the ACHRAMS app. An insider explained that the taxi operators no longer have a stand inside the arrival hall and passengers must now seek them out to book a taxi.
The ACHRAMS officials reportedly choose passengers themselves, turning the digital process back into a chaotic and uncoordinated system.
