Lagos celebrates Blue Line’s second anniversary, slashes fare by 50%

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

Sanwo-Olu, in a post on his official X handle, stated that the rail service had operated without a single accident since it began operations.

“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,” he said.

To mark the second anniversary of the rail line, the governor announced a 50% 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,” the governor added.

The Blue Line, which launched in 2023, is part of the state’s efforts to expand mass transit and ease traffic congestion in the city.
