Lagos to Ibadan by rail is like traveling from Nigeria to Libya by road..

To be honest, the awareness was not publicized properly. If six passengers could board the train, I would rather give them money to go board a bus rather than transporting only six passengers to Ibadan. For me, it was one of the wasted resources we are talking about.

Have you ever heard that a plane didn't fly because there were only 10 passengers? I once flew an Etihad to Dubai and we were not more than 50 for a flight of maybe 200.

Besides the free ride is also a test run.

The Lagos-Ibadan train service truly as not been completed because it ought to depart from Ebute Metta(Lagos ) en route omi adio in Ogun State and terminate at moniya in Ibadan, but since the 4 mega and 4 minor terminals and stations are yet to be ready; the government (although in haste), decided to commence test ride from Iju that's the outskirts of lagos through omi adio then terminates in moniya for the time being. however, my concerns is about the convenience of the passengers because the stations where the trains are meant to make a brief stop on this trips are far from being completed so running these services smoothly at this point is a mirage. I don't know why the Transportation minister is in a mad haste to get this train service to run without first closing out all pending issues concerning it. My thoughts though because I am not authorized to speak on official matters such as this.

I know people which went for the train ride and they were told the train might not rich ibadan City what is happening they are saying the railway is not fully complete. Some people say the journey will take 3 to 4 hours and the train will drop you in the middle of the bush 20 kilometres to ibadan City

The station is their but you have to be very careful find out if the railway is complete first. Also how long the journey will take because somebody went there to catch the train and he was told the railway is not complete the train will only get 20 km to ibadan they haven't finished a bridge

Moniya, at the outskirts of Ibadan. If you are not familiar with Ibadan city, then chances are you will get lost!

Well, I am not disputing the fact that the stations along the route from Lagos to Moniya are not completed. secondly, official records showed the train terminates at Moniya from Iju but I am not sure of this because until it leaves from EBJ (Ebute Metta Junction), I am not boarding. Happy ride to those that want to give it a shot at the immediate if that's possible anyways.
