Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced a 50 percent reduction in fares on the Blue Line train service for Thursday, September 4, 2025.
The governor said the gesture was to commemorate the second anniversary of the Blue Line launch in the state.
The Lagos Blue Line rail commenced commercial operations in September 2023, traversing the Marina to Mile 2 route. Since then, the mass transit system has transported more than five (5) million passengers safely.
“In these two years, the Blue Line has carried more than five million passengers safely, without a single accident,” Sanwo-Olu said in a statement on Wednesday.
According to Sanwo-Olu, trains now run every ten minutes, completing over 90 trips daily, and significantly reducing travel time for commuters.
“These achievements show that when we work with dedication and purpose, we can build systems that truly serve the people,” he said.
Expressing appreciation to Lagos residents for their trust and support, Governor Sanwo-Olu stressed that the project belongs to everyone.
“To mark this second anniversary, 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 statement added.
He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to building a modern Lagos where mobility is easier, safer, and faster.
“Our journey is far from over. Step by step, we are creating the Lagos we all desire,” he concluded.
