The Federal Government on Friday announced the approval of transport fares on the new Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail line scheduled to begin full commercial operations in January.

It said passengers would pay between N3,000 and N6,000 for the train service depending on the class of seat booked by the traveller.

The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, announced the approval during the inauguration of the governing council of the Chartered Institute of Transport Administration of Nigeria in Abuja.


Amaechi said the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), had mandated the ministry to ensure the inauguration of the Lagos-Ibadan railway in January.

“Today, I approved the charges for passengers from Lagos to Ibadan. We just transferred how we charged from Abuja to Kaduna,” he said.

The minister added, “We charge N3,000 per economy seat; N5,000 for business class and N6,000 for first class. The same is applicable to Lagos to Ibadan.



“It should have started running by now before Mr President inaugurates it in January.”

I am worried bro

How is that different from traveling by bus? Trains are suppose to be cheaper. You people want to milk Nigerians dry also.

Nigeria's inevitable doom keeps coming closer each passing day, instead of the people in power to find solutions to already existing problems they are finding joy in creating new ones.

Lagos to Ibadan with Bus is not up to 3K, why paying 6K for train

Then how much will Lagos to Abuja cost? N20,000? This doesn't sound good.

Mad people everywhere,
With 500-800, I will get to Ibadan from Lagos by bus.
Shouldn't train supposed to be cheaper??

Meanwhile , Abuja to Kaduna which is 300km distance costs 1k.
Lagos to Ibadan is 150km , half the distance but costs three times that of Abuja - Kaduna .

Idiotic government

kikikiki LAGOS to Ibadan wet be 400 naira for Begger.

Well, I wouldn't say it's expensive but I'll be happy if they reduced it further

GAZZUZZ:
This govt is not in sync with its citizens.

Anything more than ₦500 for economy, train will remain empty.

It's a lie. People are ready to pay.
