Five Million Passengers: Lagos Rail Blue Line Marks Two Years, Governor Sanwo-Olu Announces Fare Reduction
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has marked the second anniversary of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line, highlighting the project’s achievements and announcing a fare reduction to celebrate the milestone.
Speaking to Lagosians on his Twitter handle, the governor said:
“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 ten 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.
To mark this second anniversary, I am pleased to announce a 50% reduction in fares on the Blue Line for tomorrow, Thursday, September 4, 2025. 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.
Together, we are shaping the Lagos of our future,”he said.
