The Lagos State Government will cut fares on the Blue Line rail by 50 per cent on Thursday, September 4, 2025. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced the reduction to celebrate the line’s second anniversary, noting that it has already transported over 5 million commuters safely since it began operations.
Governor Sanwo-Olu shared the news on his official X account, highlighting the rail line’s efficiency. He stated that the Blue Line now runs more than 90 trips a day, with trains arriving every ten minutes, which has significantly cut down on travel time for residents.
The Blue Line is a 27-kilometer project and a vital part of the city’s rail system. The first phase, which runs 13 kilometers from Marina to Mile 2, was completed in 2023. The second phase, a 14-kilometer extension from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko, is currently under construction and is expected to be finished by 2026. This extension will include six new stations and a major maintenance depot.
