The executive Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has flagged off the commercial operations of Blue Line Rail in the state.
The railway system was commissioned in January 2023 by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The Blue Line Rail will move from Marina to Mile 2.
Sanwo-Olu was the first passenger at the Marina station. He was joined by other dignitaries to test-run the commerical operations.
The Managing Director, Lagos State Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Mrs Abimbola Akinajo said from Tuesday, September 5, partial passenger operations will start from 6:30am to 10am, for morning peak; and for afternoon peak, from 4pm to 9:30pm.
These operations, according to Akinajo, will start with 12 trips for two weeks, which will later be increased up to 76 trips per day.
