Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced a 50 percent reduction in fares on the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line to celebrate its second anniversary.
The governor, in a post shared on his official X handle on Wednesday, revealed that the rail service has moved over five million passengers since it began operations in 2023 — without recording a single accident.
“In these two years, the Blue Line has carried more than five million passengers safely, without a single accident,” he wrote.
Sanwo-Olu added that trains now run at 10-minute intervals, completing more than 90 trips daily, and have significantly cut travel time for commuters.
“These achievements show that with dedication and purpose, we can build systems that truly serve the people,” he said, while appreciating Lagos residents for their trust and support.
The governor further disclosed that the fare reduction will take effect on Thursday, September 4, 2025, encouraging more residents to experience the service.
Launched in 2023, the Blue Line is a flagship project in Lagos State’s drive to expand public transportation and reduce traffic congestion across the metropolis.
