Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced a 50 per cent discount on fares for the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line to celebrate its second anniversary.
Sanwo-Olu, in a post on his official X handle on Wednesday, said the Blue Line has transported over five million passengers since its launch in 2023 and has operated without a single accident.
“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,” he wrote.
The governor hailed the milestone as proof of what could be achieved through “dedication and purpose,” while thanking Lagosians for their trust and support.
To commemorate the anniversary, he announced a 50 per cent reduction in fares on Thursday, September 4, 2025.
“I am pleased to announce a 50% reduction in fares on the Blue Line for tomorrow. If you have not yet experienced the Blue Line, I encourage you to take a ride and see what we have built together,” he added.
The Blue Line, inaugurated in 2023, is part of the state government’s strategy to expand mass transit and reduce traffic congestion across Lagos.
