If the train is so good, why is the man on the fourth seat holding his head in regret?

gateleo:


Dugbe station can not be activated because the station track are not standard guage. The route for the new Standard guage pass through Moniya which will link the track down to Kano.

So the best place to construct the new station is Moniya...Do not worry, Moniya will soon turn to Dugbe. I was told Dugbe in the late 60s is just like Moniya...

Good for the trainer...... Oga Micra carry me to where I can see 500 motor to Lagos.

Driving takes 1hr 30mins at least the last time I was in Ibadan 2017..local transport cost 1100 or 900 naira....Most train riders would be those interested in photoshoot, since the train Sermon Notes doesn't even guarantee early arrival ...
In most countries government trains and buses are meant to aid commute for low earners. Please dont quote me arguing about how comfortable the trains are or how the AC is as cold as Siberia temperature.
Oh well

You're lying. A car from Ojota park to Ibadan cost N3,000. Go and find out.

DisGuy:


From where to where?

From Lekki to Berger alone is 2hrs. Lagos traffic

First of all, let me say I pass through this route 3 times a month. I just got in from Ibadan now. I am in Lagos, and would be leaving for Ibadan next week Monday.

Advantages of Train over bus.

1. Sure time of arrival.
Normally, Lagos to Ibadan by road is not meant to be more than 1hr30 minutes, but because of traffic, you spend like 3-5 hours. I pass this place regularly, so this is not he say she say, this is what I experience.

For the train ride, the hourney is 2hr40 minutes...not more than that. With time, they will increase the speed, to reduce travel time. But this 2hr40 minutes travel time is fine by me, because it is sure.


2. Comfort
With bus that cost 2k, you are squashed up inside, sitting on chairs with very little cushion. And then when you enter traffic, sweat and body ordour will kill you. But these trains are like the inside of a plane, A/C, and comfortable seats.

3. Less Likely Possible Accident
I pray every time I take that road trip from Lagos to Ibadan/Ibadan to Lagos, cos we all read about accidents here on the road. But rail accident cases are very very low compared to road accident.

That's all I have for now. But I would always take the train versus bus.

The major challenge Ibadan people have with this lovely but expensive train service is the location of the train station... It is not in a strategic location at all. Moniya is almost like an outskirts of Ibadan

decatalyst:


Yeah...you are very correct.

I do hope they will speed up the activation of the other stations. The Dugbe station is very strategic for Ibadan residents.

cpu2006:
this is wonderful!!!!!!!!!. Nigeria is making progress

dawnomike:
Dugbe is the best... But the rail line at Dugbe is the old rail, and it is not linked to this new one in any way. So, i guess everyone will have to make do with the one at moniya if you are to travel to Lagos via train.

NGpatriot:
The boarding fee you posted is wrong.

This train ridder paid just N600.

More station are being constructed

Sagay212:


Well some people wouldn't mind paying extra for comfort. Not everyone wants to board a bus with troublesome and talkative people. Not everyone want to sit beside one elephant sized human or some dirty, stinky human. Not everyone can stand some of the annoying bus drivers who just like to look for trouble.

When you board a train, it's mind your business and you enjoy the AC and the tranquility.
I like the fact that it is expensive so that it will at least discourage some dirty peoole from boarding it so it can at least last for years.

post=97587831:
Some children of hate, frustrations and perdition were asking 'is it Bubu's money that he used to buy the train?'

We wonder whether it was Jonathan's family's money that he could have used when he was the president that he and his corrupt party couldn't use for 16 wasted years, that they decided to loot and shared it among themselves.

Shameless tins everywhere.
Supporters of looters and criminals.

Mrbillionaire:


Abeg, train is better

There’s no station at Dugbe.
