One of the primary problems associated with the emergence of tricycles in Asaba Metropolis is the exacerbation of traffic congestion. The increasing number of tricycles on the roads has led to concerns regarding traffic flow and road efficiency. With the surge in tricycle operations, there is a growing concern about safety on the roads. Issues such as accidents, reckless driving, and compliance with traffic regulations have come to the forefront.
