Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Wednesday, disclosed that the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line has transported more than five million passengers since its launch two years ago.

In a post on his official 𝕏 handle, the governor said the rail service had operated safely without any accident since it commenced operations.

“In these two years, the Blue Line has carried more than five million passengers safely, without a single accident,” Sanwo-Olu wrote.

He added that the service had significantly improved travel times in the state.

“Trains now run every 10 minutes, making over 90 trips each day. Journeys that once took much longer have become faster and easier,” the Governor said.

Sanwo-Olu described the progress as a testament to the collective efforts of the people and government.

“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,” he stated.

50% Fare Slash to Mark Anniversary

To commemorate the second anniversary of the Blue Line, the governor announced a 50 per cent reduction in fares 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,” Sanwo-Olu said.

The Blue Line, launched in 2023, is one of the state government’s flagship projects aimed at expanding mass transit and reducing traffic congestion in Lagos.
