Lagos Blue Line Rail transport will commence full commercial operations from Monday September 4th, 2023.
This is coming from the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Gboyega Akosile.
It will move passengers on return journey from Mile 2 to Marina.
Lagos Rail Mass Transit is a rapid transit system in Lagos State.
The rail system is managed by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).
The railway equipment including electric power, signals, rolling stock, and fare collection equipment will be provided by the private sector under a concession contract.
LAMATA is responsible for policy direction, regulation, and infrastructure for the network.
The first section of the network, Phase I of the Blue Line, was originally planned to be completed in 2011, though the construction has suffered many delays caused by shortage of funds and change of government.
In February 2021, the Lagos State Government announced that the Blue and Red Lines would be open by December 2022 but Blue Line is now planned to open in September 4, 2023.
