BLUE LINE RAIL TO BEGIN OPERATION ON SEPTEMBER 5 IN LAGOS

The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sawo-Olu, has disclosed the operations of Blue Line Rail to start by 5th September 2023.


He disclosed on his official handle, @jidesanwoolu, the operational duration of the partial passenger Blue Line Rail from 6:30-10am and afternoon peak from 4-9:30pm with 12 trips for two weeks, ramping up to 76 trips/day.


It was also noted in his write-up that "There are over 300 CCTV cameras across the entire rail with over 30 cameras monitoring the tracks alone, with command and control centres available in all stations along the track.


 “Lagos, this is your project. Take ownership and treat it with decency as you would treat anything that belongs to you. Any altercation or disturbance on the train will not be tolerated. It goes without saying that vandalism also will not be tolerated".


Meanwhile, the Managing Director, Lagos State Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Mrs. Abimbola Akinajo, noted that the train system would convey 175,000 passengers daily as the route navigates through Marina, National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu, Alaba, and Mile 2.
