The Lagos State Government has announced a 50 per cent reduction in fares on its Blue Line Rail for Thursday, Sept. 4.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday to mark the second anniversary of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line.
“Two years ago, we took a bold step with the launch of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line. Today, as I look back on how far we have come, I feel a deep sense of pride and gratitude.
“In these two years, the Blue Line has carried more than five million passengers safely, without a single accident.
“Trains now run every 10 minutes, making over 90 trips each day. Journeys that once took much longer have become faster and easier.
“These achievements show that when we work with dedication and purpose, we can build systems that truly serve the people,” he said.

“If you have not yet experienced the Blue Line, I encourage you to take a ride and see what we have built together.
“Our journey is far from over”.
“Step-by-step, we are creating the Lagos we all desire, building a city where moving around is easier, safer and faster,” he said.
