The Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue Line will from Monday, 12th August 2024 increase its number of trips from 54 to 72 per day. However, the current schedule for Sunday operations remained unchanged
The Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Engr. Mrs. Abimbola Akinajo announced this weekend that 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.
According to her, the implication is that there would be a train every 18 minutes both ways, thus allowing commuters to plan their trips.
Apart from this, Engr. Akinajo also announced a 25 per cent discount fare for commuters travelling within the off-peak period set at 10.00 am and 4.00 pm daily.
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. The new timetables are available on the LAMATA website, stations and social media handles.
Recall that the Blue Rail Line commenced passenger operation on 4th September 2023 and has moved close to two million passengers.
