Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced a 50 percent slash in the fare on the state’s blue line train service for Thursday, September 4, 2025.
Sanwo-Olu stated that the development is to mark the second anniversary of the launch of the blue line.
JEDNews reports that in September 2023, the Lagos blue line rail started commercial operations, covering the Marina to Mile 2 route.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Lagos State governor stated that the blue line mass transit has transported over five million passengers safely.
“In these two years, the Blue Line has carried more than five million passengers safely, without a single accident,” the statement reads.
“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.
“I want to thank you for the trust and support you have shown. This project belongs to all of us, and it is your belief in a greater Lagos that makes progress possible.
“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.”
