“I am delighted to announce that the long-awaited Blue Line Rail will begin commercial operations on Monday, September 4, 2023, from Marina to Mile 2 as we put #LagosOnTrack.

“Join me at 9 am at Marina Station as we become the first passengers of this important project that will make daily commute easier for a lot of our residents.

“From Tuesday, partial passenger operations will begin from 6:30-10 am and afternoon peak from 4-9:30 pm.

“We’re starting with 12 trips for 2 weeks, ramping up to 76 trips/day and you would be able to board the train using your Lagos Cowry Card.”
