Lagos State Government has concluded plans to increase the blue line train trips from 12 to 54 commencing from Monday, October 16, 2023 and ultimately, 74 trips before the end of November 2023 on the Lagos Rail Mass Transit, Marina to Mile 2 route.
“The practice worldwide is to suspend passenger operations whenever a huge change such as the one we want to carry out over the weekend is to take place. The switch will allow us to introduce more trips and carry more passengers.” Ahead of the increase in trips, train services will run on Saturday 14th while there would be no service on Saturday afternoon and the entire day on Sunday 15th of October 2023 to allow the complete change over to electricity.
