CFAO Customers Laud Return of King Long Buses

The relaunch of King Long buses into the Nigerian market by CFAO has been lauded by customers who have been using the buses and dealers who were at the relaunch event in Lagos recently.

A satisfied end user of the King Long buses, Mrs. Erinma Kanno, who is the proprietor of Troika Schools, Lekki, Lagos, noted that the quality of the bus is top class in all ramifications.

According to her, the buses which she has been using for some years now for school runs, are “fuel efficient, rugged, easy to maintain and importantly, affordable”.

She explained that before settling for King Long buses, she used tokunbo (second hand) buses of other brands, but got her hands burnt because of too frequent down time. When she turned to another popular brand, she added, the price was too expensive.

The challenge of transporting her school students from their homes to school and back was tackled when through a driver, she discovered the King Long brand. Some of the buses on her fleet, she revealed, have run over 200,000 kilometers and are still offering service.

Also, a CFAO dealer, Mr. Adeleke Samuel, stated that he has been doing business with CFAO for over 10 years, and from his experience selling the King Long buses, there is always demand for the buses because it gives value for money.
