In Nigeria, I don't know why some people don't ask questions when things are done especially by the government.

For me I don't really see this project as a sustainable one except modifications are made even at that the project was highly inflated, that alone might make the entire project fail in the long run.

It is not enough to just claim and brag about having something but keeping and making it self sustainable is more important.

Dshocker:


Building it is not the issue, but maintaining it.

What about your own state government, why haven't they built in your state?

Can you mention another state that operates this, apart from Lagos?

My brother, you no get talk for mouth.

Ohu rest

Fearyourcreator:

Which country are you currently?

Dshocker:


Ekwensu

ppogba:


What makes it un- sustainable?

Whatt modifications are you expecting?

Will a mass exodus out of Lagos you see in your dreams make it die suddenly?

Is there any mass transit plan that will render it useless?

Have you seen the perennial Lagos traffic disappear in your dreams to make is unattractive to passengers again?

Do you even know the perculiarity of the route it covers in terms of human and vehicular traffic?

It seems the bragging about the BL that is your headache. Try and get a paracetamol for that first.

BreconHills:


Please explain why the project is unsustainable?

Beremx:
Nice one.
I'm planning to take a trip with my son soon. The young man wants a train ride badly. He has seen train tracks but haven't seen a train before. Lagos State will make it happen for him.

No one should attack me please. I have malaria biko

christejames:
Has the electric engine been incorporated into the transit?


Because the billions of dollars spent is for electric trains, we won't take this diesel engine trains they claim they want to start with

Oga,you and who won't take diesel engine trains?
Whose opinion was considered at the beginning?


Give us our electric trains🚉 🚉! We should start being accountable for whatever we propose.

Brendaniel:


I would have loved to give you a full explanation but I'm quite busy right now, but there are 3 things that I have identified in the project that might make it unsustainable in the long run

1. The cost of the project

2. The daily running cost( mainly Power and management)

3. The targeted amount of passengers( which will be determined by the cost of the fare )

I would have loved to break it down properly but like I said I am quite busy, I am not against the project, it is a good one but I look at sustainability because at the end if the project fails it is money loss for the government and the people....

BreconHills:


There are 25m people in Lagos and obviously the pricing has been pitched right because the trains are full and the government is moving to increase the running times

Concept proven.

Meanwhile government is moving to clear the routes of traders on the lines so that it can move to the available full electric, remove the two heavy diesel engines and with the reduction on weight, increase the number of coaches.

There are no payments for cash so no room for leakages at the point of sale.

Finally the value of a train route improves with the expansion of the network. The Red line will up ery shortly.

Some of the people working on this project have advanced mass transit degrees. They honestly know what they are doing. This is patently obvious from the project design and implementation so far.

Does it mean the project cannot fail? No. But it is too early to blow that trumpet as its been a good start. Improvements are possible and this is where I think our attention should be focused.
