Here is some info on the on-going state of works on the rail project that Lagos State govt is executing along Lagos-Badagry expressway and other areas;

Hmmm..remarkable. 30 year plan. Please how long have we gone now? I'm not good at waiting.

kel4soft:
OP, you will be unfair to Ambode if you want him to construct those rails in Nigeria with Lagos meagre allocation while the Federal Government who collects the large junk of cash do nothing about it.

Yeah..I understand you. However I am sure Lagos' allocation cannot even construct all the roads in Lagos yet the roads are being constructed...even if the funding is borrowed. There are many ways the government can embark on rail projects without solely relying on allocation.

Besides, for the first time under this democratic dispensation, the government at the centre is one with Lagos. What better time to synergize on this kind of project than now.

McCarlito:
Train is a NO! NO!! in Nigeria......

#MyOpinion though and I don't care whose opinion countered it...

You know the saying that says wise people speak because they have a reason...others speak because they want to say something. You can't just say "No"...answer the question why?

Keneking:
What are you communicating

Hmmm, I know why you asked that question. Pictures speak!!

Now, I have always been an advocate of rail transport in Lagos. No reasonable person, who's seen how rail transport works EFFECTIVELY outside Nigeria would not be a strong supporter of this. The young, old, men, women, rich and poor utilize this medium of transportation abroad thereby de-congesting the roads and it's a huge income earner for the government...huge I say.

The images below is a simple pictorial that clearly shows the different forms of land transport for a hugely populated city like Lagos.

I pick picture 3 because not only does it bring about less congestion, it has its own dedicated lane and therefore traffic gridlock is non existent. Ambode should revamp what we have now because the trains in Lagos are somewhat 'ol'skool'. We need modern rail systems (high speed trains, diesel and electric trains, etc) in Lagos as the most sane solution to our daily traffic problems. Imagine taking a fast train from Ikorodu to VI; now it takes nothing less than 3 hours with a car (that is if you leave your house early o), with a train it could take less than 30 minutes. Imagine if all those trucks going to Apapa had dedicated trains transporting their containers while the road is left for other vehicles around that axis, what would Apapa look like today?

Anyways, let me see your picks and reasons, not everybody will pick 3.

I challenge governor Ambode to make a choice too!!! Seun, oya over to you.
