I think the price should be driven by demand and supply; book your ticket early, you get cheaper rates and vice versa. In an ideal situation if managed properly like a business, these trains should be able to pay for themselves and payback their loans. But we all know what's obtainable in Nigeria; by 2022, govt would cut the prices to N750 for election and the rail loan would keep being paid by oil money.

How will train safe more time than bus? Is it faster than bus or what and also considering the time they will take to get ticket?

NdigboWorldwide:

If they put the price to 1000, I think they will never lack passenger because it will be more than confortable travelling by road.

obailala:
The price should be dynamic just like flights, not fixed. If the ticket demand increases, price should increase and vice versa. The moment govt starts fixing price, that's where these trains start dying.

The price fixing is already bastardising the abuja to kaduna trains; that's why you see officials hoarding tickets and selling to highest bidders. If the price is made dynamic, and tickets can clearly be bought online, then a massive corruption ring would be blocked.

Everytime you mention Buhari they will tell you he built Lagos Ibadan railway, now see all of them lamenting that they will take bus N500 instead of train 3k to 6k

Ogbuu101:


They should do an experiment and build a train from Lag to Onitsha and put a price tag of 15K, IPOB go still pay happily

obailala:
Trains should be faster than bus. These are standard gauge trains, not those old narrow gauge slow ones going from lagos to minna.

You are not a decent person and a low lifer. If you have any point to counter what have been said you put it forward without having to insult others. Admin should be removing people like you from this platform

peeps4u:


I was expecting this kind of reply but we're talking about the old refurbished trains brought to Nigeria.
And are these Nigerian trains faster than bus?

kay29000:


It is definitely too expensive, but road can never be faster than rail on that route...you can spend 6-7 hours on that Lagos-Ibadan journey sometimes because of traffic, that's why I have been waiting for this rail to be completed, but 3k is too much.

fxdee:
not always and this is due to construction going on.. Normal travel time is less than 2hrs...

spiralwedge:


If you hitch a bus from Mowe to Ibadan, it's N500.

Sometimes 700, but i can't pay more than 500.
From Ibadan to Ilorin, there are several places... I enter mine 1k or 700.

Ignorance makes you and others always shout lies lies instead of learning quietly

Shut. Up. I don't enter sole. Solo to. Ritual bus

How much is transport fare from berger to redemption camp.
