Red Line goes live with passenger operation 15th October 2024 starts 6.00am from Agbado

Full passenger operations on the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Red Line will commence on Tuesday, 15th October 2024, Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Engr. Abimbola Akinajo affirmed today.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu will lead his executive council members and other dignitaries on the passenger operations launch and ride with commuters on the first fee-paying passenger trip.

Earlier, Engr. Akinajo stated that train services will commence daily from Agbado at 6.00 am.

Consequently, the schedule for the train service has been adjusted with passenger movement commencing from 6.00am from Agbado.

Before now, trips have emanated from Oyingbo at 9.00 am. The first train therefore got to Agbado at 10.07 am. The adjusted timetable foreshadows upcoming commercial passenger operations commencing on Tuesday, 15th October 2024.

Managing Director of LAMATA, Engr. Mrs. Abimbola Akinajo explained that the new timetable was the outcome of data gathered through the series of tests, including that for the non-fee-paying passengers. According to Engr. Akinajo, the new timetable gives priority to the origin trips from Agbado where riders live and work at Ikeja, Oshodi, and Lagos Island.

For passengers whose journeys terminate on Lagos Island, buses will be available at Oyingo bus terminal for them to complete their journeys.

It would be recalled that infrastructure for the Red Line was commissioned by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on 29th February 2024. The Red Line's first phase spanning 27 kilometres has eight stations at Oyingbo, Yaba, Mushin, Oshodi, Ikeja, Agege, lju and Agbado.

Eko too much joor.

God bless Sanwo Olu
God bless President Tinubu
God bless Yoruba people
God bless the Lagos state
God bless the SW

This is the kind of infrastructures bitter ones are targeting to burn in the name of protest, meanwhile this is very commendable from Lagos state government

We wait

Nice one.
Result of good cooperation between Lagosians and the state govt.

But why is it only Lagos that's progressing and moving forward while the other states are moving backwards?
That only place that's trying to keep pace with Lagos is Abuja and that's only because of the presence of Wike. Every other state is just moving backward

This is a governor some people are comparing with bus stop builder. Isorite!

A big one for my city.

That's beautiful. Eko o ni ba je.

Meanwhile, somewhere else in the country bandits are appointing and deposing traditional rulers and Universities are being burnt in another location.

Same country, different madness

Sanwolu they work ooooo

Lagos, always on the move…few years from now, some demented clown from, you know where will come to tell us how Lagos was the former capital and how FG built the whole infrastructure in Lagos with Nigeria money, like only Lagos receives monthly allocation

Commendable development.

Try to understand how Nigeria operates, Lagos progresses because they are ripping off other regions by been only place that have working international airport and Seaports, other regions are blocked politically by having that , also favoured by being former capital of Nigeria. Abuja on the other hand is the capital of Nigeria been developed by oil money the same way Lagos was developed as capital of Nigeria for more than 30 years with oil money, no other state have that privileges in Nigeria.

Okay nah

That's good

A few years from now Lagos will need to start issuing visas to Nigerians from other states cos the rural-urban migration will be too much. Yes, all other states are practically rural areas in comparison.

God can never bless T Pain.

God bless Lagos State and those who wish her well, God bless Nigeria and those that want it to progress, but may Devil rape those who put us in this calamity and may the beasts of all demons ravage their children and children's children. . Amen.

Lagos again? Let my people sleeping and be blaming everyone except them.

Because no state has the type of income Lagos gets.

And if a state were to try to get that kind of income, there would be complaints of overtaxation

Also Lagos does need a metro. Apart from Lagos very few Nigerian cities are large enough to merit a metro system.
