The 23-year-old Nigerian lawyer used to hop on a motorbike known locally as an okada for a quick ride to the bus that carries her from the mainland, where most of Lagos's 20 million residents live, to work in the island business district.
Since the bikes, along with motorized yellow rickshaws called kekes, became illegal in most of the city on Feb. 1, Adeniyi has added a 30-minute walk to her journey stretching the commute to nearly two hours.
"It has not been easy at all," she said.
