Who cares who built the train? Use that train for me jor

patiently waiting for this regime critics to tell us maybe the fare is fair or just way too much

I trust them not to disappoint

This is the problem, do you rather prefer the project be abandoned by Buhari administration and let it waist away? Moreover its not even Jonathan's Administration that started it, it was Obasanjo as part of bid for Abuja to host the 2014 commonwealth games. The project ground laying ceremony was on 27th May 2007, and it has been there wasting away, so you see, it too Nigeria 11years to finish her metro station because of mentality like yours!!!!

1k that too expensive how much be minimum wage wey train be 1k self

Not too bad IMHO. The cost far outweigh the risk of plying Abuja-kaduna road with the incessant killings, kidnappings and accidents occurring on that route of recent. How much is #1000 knowing you will get to your destination in one piece and on time. Even the commercial drivers have increased their fare to almost 1000 or 1500
