Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has revealed that the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line has conveyed over five million passengers since its commissioning in 2023, achieving this milestone without recording any accidents.
In a post on his official X handle on Wednesday, the governor highlighted the system’s efficiency and safety record.
“In these two years, the Blue Line has carried more than five million passengers safely, without a single accident.
“Trains now run every 10 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,” Sanwo-Olu stated.
To commemorate the second anniversary of the rail service, he announced a half-price fare reduction for Thursday, September 4, 2025.
“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,” the governor added.
The Blue Line project forms part of Lagos State’s broader initiative to expand mass transit options and ease the city’s traffic burden.
