Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos State has slashed transport fares for the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line by 50 percent in recognition of the five million passengers achievement and second anniversary of the line.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, noting that the price slash is slated for Thursday, 4th September, 2025.
“Two years ago, we took a bold step with the launch of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line. Today, as I look back on how far we have come, I feel a deep sense of pride and gratitude.
“In these two years, the Blue Line has carried more than five million passengers safely, without a single accident. Trains now run every ten minutes, making over 90 trips each day. Journeys that once took much longer have become faster and easier,” he said, adding hat these achievements show that when we work with dedication and purpose, we can build systems that truly serve the people.
“To mark this second anniversary, I am pleased to announce a 50 percent 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.
“Our journey is far from over. Step by step, we are creating the Lagos we all desire, building a city where moving around is easier, safer, and faster. Together, we are shaping the Lagos of our future,” he said.
