Motor parks are large bus and taxi terminals in Nigerian cities. The cars queue in different lines, according to their destinations, and go as soon as they are full. Touts recruit and organise passengers and receive commissions from the drivers. Hawkers approach travellers to buy goods they display on small trays balanced on their heads.

The right and duty to establish, maintain and regulate motor parks is constitutionally entrusted to the lowest tier of government in Nigeria, the Local Government Councils. Since the early 1980s, though, the LGAs all over Nigera have ceded the management of motor parks to labour unions, predominantly to the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), less frequently to the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), the National Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) or the Self-Employed Commercial Drivers Association of Nigeria (SECDAN).
