Don't mind all the people shitting on this great development. I just got in to Lagos today from Ibadan, for 2k bus fare. I would have taken the train today too, but I overslept...by the time I got to the station at 8:30am, the train had left. They leave on time, and they get to destination on time (no more spending 4-5 hours sweating in traffic via bus). Abeg, I love this train. Let the guys that want to keep entering bus go ahead. Besides, Camry without A/C from Challenge (Ibadan) to Lagos is 2k5-3k, so what is wrong with A/C train that cost 2k5? I tire for these bad belle people always complaining about everything.

Most of them are probably the same public transporters that ply that route. This train would take food out the mouths of many. You no fit blame them na... I just hope they don't sabotage the trains sha...

My trip to Ibadan ón the 29th and return trip to Lagos on the 30th was wonderful.
The train did not operate at its maximum speed but it was a pleasant experience and enriching
Just hope and pray the standard of operations, cleanliness will be sustained.
The staff were wonderful. Indeed kudos to the train staff.
Work on the Stations need to be hastened. Also the access road from the Moniya-Iseyin road to the Moniya (Ibadan) station needs to be worked on.
I encourage all to just take the ride. You will want to take more trips

How does the #6,000 fare coach look like?

lebete3000:


With all the stray animals and open defecation in the Bush, I doubt if this train would ever run faster than 100km/hr. Nigerians aren't ready for that. I even doubt our airplanes run at maximum speed sef...

lebete3000:


So you can blow 2k5 a day for road transportation? I tap my left blockus for you oh...

You sure sey train go fit drive at that neck breaking speed for ds our naija? Even the average Nigerian no go join you siddon inside for fear. I know how scared peeps are even in planes...

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.

BreconHills:


Lol
Because of the fact that trains normally travel through featureless landscapes e.g countryside- trains actually give the impression that they are not travelling very fast. The effect is similar to an aircraft in the sky. Once their is no static or slower object to compare speed with, speed appears to be non existent.

I only went to the 5k coach o

lebete3000:


Big boy!

So how was it, compared with the 2k5 coach?

tunene66:


I travelled on the 2k5 coach o, both to n fro.
I only went to the 5k coach o.
The differences are in the seating arrangement, quality of seats. Also there were some amenities available in the 5k coach not in the 2k5 coach

aribisala0:
It is hard to see how they can maintain the trains not to talk of repay the loan from those fares and so one questions the economic viability of passenger trains
Maybe they should just focus on the commercial movement of goods
Moving passengers by rail will be a backdoor subsidy for the rich WITH BORROWED MONEY

murmee:
A shuttle service train could be introduced at Omi-Adio to carry passengers to Dugbe old train station. The Moniya station is too far from most residential areas in Ibadan and that renders the train journey unattractive to passengers heading to Ibadan!

Ugandatales:


I'm telling you. I went to the Moniya station this morning. The road leading to the train station was recently constructed... it's super solid. Development in that area will be on the rise in the next couple of years. Plus, the train station at Moniya is just 10-15 minutes from Ojoo (where I live), so this is great for me �

Aksimple47:
pls, how many minutes is it from moniya to Apete/Olomo Axis??
