Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced a 50% reduction in fares on the Blue Rail Line for Thursday, September 4, 2025, to celebrate the second anniversary of its launch.
The Governor, in a statement on Wednesday, said the Blue Rail Line system has recorded over five million passengers while ensuring safety in transportation within the last two years since its maiden operation in 2023.
The statement read: “Dear Lagosians, 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.
“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.
“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. 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.”
