The Lagos State Government on Wednesday announced 50 per cent reduction on fares on its Blue Line Rail.

The reduction is for Thursday (Sept. 4).

The state Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced this in a statement made available to newsmen.

According to Sanwo-Olu, the reduction is to mark the second anniversary the state’s rail line, Blue Line Rail.

“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 10 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,” he said.

Sanwo-Olu thanked Lagos State residents for trust and support.

“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,” he said. (NAN)
