Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has hailed the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line as a “game changer” in the state’s transportation system, revealing that the service has carried over five million passengers since its launch in 2023 without recording a single accident.

In a message shared on his official X handle on Wednesday, the governor said, “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.

“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,” Sanwo-Olu stated.

To mark the anniversary, the governor announced a 50 per cent fare reduction for Thursday, September 4, 2025, urging more residents to experience the rail service.

“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,” he added.
