The Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line will from Monday, 12th August 2024 increase its number of trips from 54 to 72 per day. The Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Engr. Abimbola Akinajo says Blue Line train riders will now travel between Marina and Mile 2 in just about 18 minutes from the previous travel time of 25 minutes. She says the implication is that there would be a train every 18 minutes both ways, thus allowing commuters to plan their trips. Akinajo says a 25 per cent discount has also been reintroduced for commuters travelling within the off-peak period set at 10.00 am and 4.00 pm daily. The managing director of LAMATA adds that the new train schedule is potentially expected to reduce journey times, encourage more riders to use the train system during off-peak periods and reduce transport spending.
