One of Jonathan's achievement buharia is trying to take the glory...... wise up Nigerians

GSA01:


This is the problem, do you rather prefer the project be abandoned by Buhari administration and let it waist away? Moreover its not even Jonathan's Administration that started it, it was Obasanjo as part of bid for Abuja to host the 2014 commonwealth games. The project ground laying ceremony was on 27th May 2007, and it has been there wasting away, so you see, it too Nigeria 11years to finish her metro station because of mentality like yours!!!!

Actually too expensive but will only be cheap for people going to the airport from Abuja metro. Taking a cab(not drop) will still be cheaper.

faithfull18:
It's on the high side. Road transportation would have been cheaper if public buses were allowed to ply all routes(I understand it's the Federal capital) and not just taxis where you have to take drops. The rail transport will save time though.

Trains aren't necessarily meant to be cheap. They allow for faster, safer, more comfortable transportation. I wonder why so many people just have the mindset that trains should be cheap

Bruh look to be sincere it is meant for the poor people that can not afford to own car or when fuel prices go up come on Bruh to be honest

MARKETfund:
Instead of littering everywhere with pieces of papers (tickets), I will suggest they introduce a card like it's done in the UK (The Oyster Card).

Each resident of Abuja and its environs who would be making use of the train are to buy the card and credit it with say N2k upwards (allows for a top up)
Just provide a scanner that allows one access into the train where they would be made to scan and the corresponding charge would be deducted before boarding.

This would reduce incedences of cashiers being tempted to steal money
queuing up for tickets, and
enhance easy account reconciliation and auditing

He's watched too many indian and Bangladesh movies. That's probably where most Nigerians get that idea from that trains should be poverty alleviation liability schemes run by government to cater for the poor and downtrodden.

That project started since the days of OBJ and El Rufai.
