Why Are Lagos Metro Trains So Clean? (Video) by Quintessence44(op): 5:42am On Aug 18, 2025
I've been inside metro trains all over the world.

But Lagos city metro trains are a different class.

Extremely clean inside.

Back when they were still building this project, many predicted that the whole thing would be ruined by dirty Lagosians packing their market wares and all this funny stuff into the train.

Some said people would even carry their goats and hens that they're selling into the trains etc.

But the network has been up for some years now, and expanding with new lines, yet, with no sign of such deterioration.

In fact the opposite is the case.

In cleanliness, Lagos trains and train stations surpass what you'll see in London, New York and all these places.

I think we underestimate ourselves too much in this country.

It is NOT managed by China.

It is managed by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, LAMATA.

What ''usual danfo crowd'' are you imagining in your head?

Those are ordinary Lagosians using the trains. Zero difference between them and any other Lagosians.

Very true. LAMATA just like many LASG agencies are run like private enterprises hiring professionals from all sectors.

If not for the coup that installed Buhari as Military head of state in the early 80s which truncated Jakande's already proposed metro inter city rail lines. Lagos would has been very, very far ahead.

Can we say that your room is also managed by the Chinese because it's clean? If only it does.

Be optimistic about your dear nation sometimes, there's nothing wrong with a constructive criticism but you need to be objective.

I have always maintained it. If there's going to be any semblance of an advanced economy in Nigeria. Lagos is going to be the first state to achieve it. The reason being that it strives to employ brilliant people to head it's various agencies.

They are maintained by the Chinese. Once they fall back into local hands...your guess is as good as mine

Don't mess with the CEO- LAMATA Engr. Mrs. Abimbola Akinajo.

She is well experienced and very firm !

The Blue Line has a better quality assurance Team than most Government run agencies in Lagos & Nigeria.

The CEO of LAMATA has over 30 years industry specific experience having also worked in the London Underground Rail-system. A well structured underground rail system in London.

The Blue Line still stands as the single biggest achievement for the Sanwo Olu Administration.

We are comparing metro systems that have been around for 100 years with one not more than 5 years .

Let's stop these stupid comparisons and concentrate on what we need to make Nigeria great . Like building on the success of the metro to build more in Nigeria .

Eating and drinking, which generates waste, is prohibited.

How old is our metro?

Were Lagos BRT buses not clean when it started operation also? Now they are looking like proper Lagos buses.

The usual suspects in posh Lekki where ebilokan has failed to make water available despite increasing IGR and budget 75 times since 1999?

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’
