With A Train Every 18 Minutes, It’s Bye to Cars, Hello Lagos Blue Line
The Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue Line has increased its daily trips from 54 to 72, enhancing efficiency and reducing travel time between Marina and Mile 2 to 18 minutes. LAMATA’s Managing Director, Mrs. Abimbola Akinajo, announced the changes, which include a 25% fare discount for off-peak hours (10:00 am – 4:00 pm) to ease economic pressures. The new schedule, beginning at 6:30 am and ending at 7:27 pm, allows commuters to plan their trips better. Since its launch in September 2023, the Blue Line has become a popular and convenient option for those traveling along the Lagos-Badagry expressway, offering an alternative to driving and reducing transportation costs.
