Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has announced a 50 percent reduction in fares on the state’s Blue Line rail service for Thursday, September 4, 2025.
The governor said the initiative was in celebration of the second anniversary of the Blue Line’s commercial operations, which began in September 2023 along the Marina–Mile 2 corridor.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Sanwo-Olu highlighted the achievements of the project, noting that the Blue Line has safely transported over five million passengers without a single accident.
“In just two years, the Blue Line has moved more than five million passengers safely. Trains now run every 10 minutes, completing over 90 trips daily.
“What used to be long, stressful journeys are now faster and more convenient,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu added that the rail service had become a symbol of what could be achieved through dedication and collective effort.
“This project belongs to all of us. Your trust and belief in a greater Lagos have made this progress possible.
To mark the second anniversary, I am pleased to announce a 50 percent fare reduction on the Blue Line for tomorrow, Thursday, September 4, 2025. If you haven’t experienced the Blue Line yet, I encourage you to take a ride and see what we’ve built together,” he said.
The governor assured residents that the state government remained committed to expanding infrastructure to make mobility across Lagos easier, safer, and faster.
“Our journey is far from over. Step by step, we are creating the Lagos we all desire,” he added.
