Blue Line Rail to Commence Operations on Monday in Lagos

The Blue Line Rail will start operating commercially next week, on Monday, September 4, 2023, according to a statement released on Wednesday by the Lagos State Government, led by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

Gistlover recalls that Governor Sanwo-Olu officially opened the Blue Line Rail in December 2022, which was eight months ago.

The Blue Line Rail will run from Marina to Mile 2, as it was announced at the project’s launch.

Governor Sanwo-Olu is anticipated to be the first passenger on Monday at precisely 9 am at the Marina station, according to Abimbola Akinajo, managing director of the Lagos State Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, who was speaking on Tuesday at the Blue Rail Line Terminal in Marina.

She also said that beginning on Tuesday, September 5, partial passenger operations would run from 6:30 am to 10 am for the morning peak and from 4 pm to 9:30 pm for the afternoon peak.

Akinajo claims that these operations will begin with 12 trips for a period of two weeks before increasing to 76 trips each day.

Additional information will be provided soon.
