Expression of Interest for Private Minibuses Observation Survey in Lagos, Nigeria Description: The World Bank, along with partners Lagos Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (LAMATA), Columbia University, and University of California, Berkeley, is seeking to conduct observation surveys of the informal transit in Lagos, Nigeria. The research team is represented in Nigeria by a field coordinator from Development Impact Evaluation (DIME). The survey firm (also defined as survey company) selected through this ToR, will be in charge of data collection for this study. It will report directly to the DIME field coordinator as well as to the principal investigators of the study from DIME, University of California Berkeley, and Columbia University (together defined as the research team). Scope of work:The research team has a list of minibus motorparks and routes in Lagos, estimated to contain 800 routes (i.e. 1600 ordered origin-destination pairs) and 320 motorparks. This data was collected in 2022 so may need updating. The survey firm would be responsible for the following steps:Step 1: Preliminary Route Enumeration. Visit the 320 motorparks, enumerate existing routes, reporting back to the team which of the initial routes still exist and which do not as well as which new routes should be added.Step2: From here, 3 surveys will be conducted.Union Fee Survey. At each motorpark, enumerators will identify the particulars of the park (e.g. unit name, controlling union). Enumerators will then administer a short survey lasting 5-10 minutes to collect information for fees that drivers must pay who drive at the park. Enumerators should ask 2 drivers, and 2 union members.Motorpark Observation Survey (Departure observations - MPDs). At motorparks, enumerators will collect data on each route for one day through a motorpark observation survey. In this survey, enumerators will record departure time, destination, fare and capacity for each bus that departs on each route. This will be done by standing near the top of the queue and observing activity. A separate form will be completed every 15 minutes. At the start of each 15-minute interval, the enumerator will note the route name, start time, end time, the fare, the bus queue length, and the number of waiting passengers. They will then observe the top of the queue for 15 minutes, noting when each bus at the top begins to load, when it departs, its size, and its occupancy at departure. The observation will take place during the morning peak period (7-9am), midday off-peak (1-2pm) and afternoon peak (4-6pm). Each route needs to be observed for a full day only, and multiple routes can be observed simultaneously where possible. Bus Stop Survey (BS-Observations). Enumerators will also be required to administer bus stop observation instruments at a sample of 100 bus stops in Lagos.
