Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday celebrated the second anniversary of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line, highlighting its achievements and unveiling a special fare reduction.
According to the governor, the Blue Line has carried more than five million passengers safely in the past two years, without recording a single accident. He noted that trains now operate every 10 minutes, completing over 90 trips daily and easing travel across the state.
To mark the milestone, Sanwo-Olu announced a 50 per cent cut in fares on the Blue Line for Thursday, September 4, 2025, encouraging Lagosians who have not yet experienced the service to do so.
He expressed gratitude for the support and trust of residents, stressing that the success of the project reflects collective belief in “a greater Lagos.”
“Our journey is far from over,” the governor said. “Step by step, we are creating the Lagos we all desire—safer, faster, and easier to move around.”
