Skyway String Transport Technology wants to move passengers from Lagos to Abuja in 45 minutes with its fast cable light rail project that is designed to reduce gridlocks along the route .

The light rail will travel along the over 500 km geographical distance between Lagos and Abuja at constant speed of up to 150km per hour in about 3hrs,but has capacity to accelerate up to 500km per hour.

Their aim is to reduce the rate of traffic hold up and roads accidents along the Lagos-Abuja route.The multi-million dollars project will also boost tourism through sightseeing as well as reduce travel time .



The Regional Head of the Company , Mr. Arogundade Samson,stated at a gathering in Lagos to sensitive members of the public on the project that Skyway String Transport Technology “is fully committed,possess the technical know how and financial capability to deliver the project in good time”, as long as it enjoys support and cooperation of the Lagos and the Federal Government.



The high-speed transport system is eco-friendly, comfortable ,safer and much cheaper when compared to all existing solutions. 



When compared to other forms of transportation, a non-stop flight time from Lagos to Abuja is between 50 mins and 1hr 15 mins while the 755.4 km  (470.2 miles) route through Sagamu-Benin expressway takes between 11 to 13 hours by car.

What do you think?

Doing it wouldn't be bad but after they do some site seeing and investigation

They will end the project, plenty people have had this plan, no be by drawing straight line from Lagos to Abuja, so many things makes company that have this idea to change their minds

People will go and start stealing the cables, there is no power to power it, if you do its own power generation, people will tap the current and spoil it, they will put more than the required number of people inside a cabin, they will mess it up in a year, they will be rapes, robbery and deaths, some will bomb it's support beem, militants will attack it's stations, I swear eh, they should just forget it

There is the economic concept called sequencing. A country that had been unable to move past the use of small generators to produce electricity wants to build a high speed railway.

It can't work, with our unstable and epileptic electric power supply
Hopefully, the power supply is not always going to be epileptic and you need to conceive of ideas that might sound unfeasible at the moment but might come to fruition decades later. I will give you an example. Crossrail (the Elizabeth Line) running through central London was conceived of in the County of London plan of 1943 and Greater London Plan of 1944. It was dismissed as fanciful. It then went through numerous revisions between 1974 and 1989. Approval was given in 2008. Work started in 2009 and its due to be finished in 2019. From conception to delivery, it would have taken 76 years and cost £15 Billion.

Sometimes I wonder when we as a people will ever learn to chew before we swallow. Politicians are thieves and will continue to be thieves as long as we swallow anything put before us. Fashola had cable car project for mass transit...we shouted good development...now this one has another useless money draining project. ..we're shouting the same thing. Even if the company wasn't a scam company..... would that be the solution?...why wouldn't the FG inest in infrastructure?...building super highways/expressways instead?...why not railway? If anyone in a rush...why not fly? Such projects are executed in rugged mountainous regions where it is extremely difficult, expensive and hazardous to build roads. It is inappropriate for Nigeria period. Are we this dumb?

So many cabals will work against this. From the airline sector to the Road Transport Union, petrol/Diesel unions, etc...not forgetting our dear cattle herders.
This country is just useless.

But should this come to pass - God, the possibilities are endless. You can live in Abuja and work in Lagos or vice versa. The price of goods and services will crash. The huge amount people will pay as rent especially here in Abuja will crash, the advantages are just unlimited.

Sad.
Nigeria's airline sector is not that large compared to our country's population - may be because it's over-taxed and flights are too expensive for most people. There's no reason for Railway Workers Union to be against this since it's they that will be employed to work there. Petro and diesel people won't be threatened. There will always be enough business for everyone, especially since our population is relentlessly chasing that of India and so many are poor.
