It's on the high side. Road transportation would have been cheaper if public buses were allowed to ply all routes(I understand it's the Federal capital) and not just taxis where you have to take drops. The rail transport will save time though. Check out my signature. |

Actually too expensive but will only be cheap for people going to the airport from Abuja metro. Taking a cab(not drop) will still be cheaper. |

Babyforever: 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!!!! |

Babyforever: Disgruntled fellow. Government is a continuous process. Did Jonathan ever complete any project started by either OBJ or Yaradua NB would you have preferred that Buhari abandoned the project to start his own which is why there are several abandoned projects across the country. Your thought process instigate such practice 3 Likes |

People are complaining that N1000 is expensive, but this is from central Abuja to Airport. It's quite a far distance oh, and taxi will collect not less than 3k for the trip. The trouble is you would still have to pay taxi from your home to the station... We should be happy that OBJ, GEJ and PMB saw it from conception to completion. I just hope staff will keep it clean, and gov't will bring money to maintain it. 6 Likes |

waveman2:Trains are faster, safe, more comfortable and more luxurious. Trains are not meant to be cheaper; they aren't cheaper anywhere in the world (except maybe we're advocating for those Bangladesh trains were passengers sit atop). 2 Likes 1 Share |

faithfull18:Trains aren't necessarily meant to be cheap. They allow for faster, safer, more comfortable transportation. I wonder why so many people just have the mindset that trains should be cheap |

Mrop: The olodo, Ifeanyi Ughamadu, does not know the meaning of "to and from". I am seeing a ticket that says for a "Single Journey" it is N1000, but the olodo said N1000 is for a "to and from" journey. |

If you are a FAAN staff there have been staff busses taking you to work and back.I dont like Buhari also but i critize when ut matters.Be travelling with 2 Bug boxes from Central Area to Air port and come and tell me taxi will not charge yoh 5K or you will enter join join motor whether you wont still spend 2k |
Re: See Abuja Rail Train Fares by obailala(m): 1:36pm On Aug 09, 2018 |
diliekene:Haha... Just the exact mindset I was talking about. But I'm sorry you are wrong! Now let's analyse this, a train is faster, more comfortable and safer than cars. Trains and railway systems are also far more expensive to maintain than cars and road. So bro, what exactly is the logic behind this expectation that trains should be cheaper than cars or buses? Apparently many do not know that rail transport is more expensive than road transport in developed countries. As an extreme (bizarre) example, it cost more to catch the train from London to Edinburgh in the UK than to catch a flight which gets you there in a tiny fraction of the time. A bus for that same journey gets you there at twice the time but 1-tenth of the cost of the train ticket. In a nutshell, modern trains aren't cheaper in the developed world. MODERN trains are not meant to be 'poverty alleviation schemes', we just watch too many indian movies where you see old rickety trains with the poor sitting on the roof, that I believe is where we mostly draw this idea from that trains should be for the poor. |

Re: See Abuja Rail Train Fares by Jocknom(m): 2:27pm On Aug 09, 2018 |
Everything in Nigeria is different seriously, I thought all this train is for the betterment of it citizens, but why are they cheating people, is too expensive seriously, imagine from your house to IDU to Rigasa to where you are going in kaduna you spent nothing less than 3k. On economy..... |

obailala:if there anything done by elrufai and obasanjo is the feasibility studies but not the physica project. I have been an abuja resident from 1999 to date, the project was started by yaradua and aliero, I can give 10% credit to yaradua, 10% to Buhari and 80% to GEJ on this project |
