SHARE

Akin Akinwale, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, has listed nine critical details about the Lagos Blue Line Rail Mass Transit launched by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Monday, September 4. 

Akinwale stated that the Lagos Blue Line Rail Mass Transit has emerged as a beacon of progress, connecting millions of Lagosians with a modern transportation system that promises to reshape the urban landscape. 

He added that the completed 27-kilometre rail line will substantially impact the city’s transportation ecosystem. 

He also expressed optimism that the project represents a significant milestone in Lagos’s journey towards becoming a world-class metropolis where progress and connectivity go hand in hand.

He lists the facts of the projects below:

  1. The Lagos Blue Line Rail Mass Transit was conceived in 1983 by Late Lateef Jakande.
  2. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu officially flagged off the rail network in 2003.
  3. President Muhammadu Buhari commissioned the project’s first phase in January.
  4. The first phase of the rail line covers a distance of 13 kilometres, stretching from Marina to Mile 2.
  5. Once completed, the 27-kilometer rail line is expected to transport approximately 500,000 passengers daily.
  6. Five stations are along the route: Marina, National Theatre, Iganmu, Alaba, and Orile station.
  7. The cost of a whole trip from Marina to Mile 2 is N750.
  8. Zonal fares will range between N400 and N500, making it more affordable for passengers travelling shorter distances.
  9. The project is intended to benefit all Lagosians, improving transportation and connectivity in the city.
