Starting tomorrow, the Red Line Rail Service will expand its capacity, offering five mornings and four evening trips daily, up from two-morning trips. This enhancement ensures better commuting options for residents travelling between Agbado and Oyingbo.

With a total journey time of just 50 minutes from Agbado to Oyingbo and reduced waiting times of two minutes at each station, the Red Line delivers efficient and reliable transportation, making daily commutes faster and more convenient.

This milestone reflects our commitment to improving mobility across Lagos. The arrival of three new train sets will further boost the Red Line’s capacity, reinforcing its role as a vital part of our integrated transport system.

The Red Line isn’t just a train service—it’s a game-changer for commuting in Lagos. We are building a city where connectivity drives economic growth and improves the quality of life for all residents.

This is Lagos, and we keep moving.

I'm so impressed with Lagos state. They are really pushing forward.

This is what a state with visionary leaders looks like.

If only other regions can emulate this dynamism and progressive outlook instead of constituting nuisance to the country, we would be competing with US and China and others.

All these were made possible because Lagos was former capital. According to people familiar with the matter, the late Queen Elizabeth designed and paid for the red line, Sanwo-Olu is only taking the glory grin

That is what unfortunate developers want to burn in the name of protest, Lagos state government should make sure all night buses coming to the state are completely empty.

good one, once the 2nd phase of the blue line and the planned green line comes onstream, Lagos will have over 100km of metro line.. far beyond the length in many top cities of the world including Dubai metro

Thanks Lord Lugard for building the red line, blue line and Eko Atlantic

If not for him, Lagos would not be where it is today

I can’t imagine what Lagos would be like if Yorubas were not in charge

It's great to see Lagos improving its transportation with the Red Line Rail Service expansion, making commutes faster and more convenient. But the BRT buses, especially on the Ojota to Lagos route, seem to be struggling. While the rail is getting better, the BRT system needs attention to maintain efficiency.

What a waste of resources. Running only 9 trips a day doesn’t justify the cost of constructing the structure. We should be aiming for at least one trip every 30 minutes in both directions.

no point wasting fuel for off peak seasons when trains will have very low occupancy. Most Lagosians cant afford to pay the true cost of running every 30 minutes under low occupancy. Peak seasons will be 6-9am and may be 3-9 pm in my perception. I bet they will doing continuos surveys on commuters traffic at varying period for the stations. I ed it was done for Brt buses at some point.

Precisely 2010, when Pita Hobi was a Gov in Anambra state. He came to Onitsha to sign a monorail agreement similar to the one in Lagos.

As we speak, the fraud, in Hobi, nothing to show for the rail and million of naira was spent on that faithful day when he signed the agreement.

When we say Pita Hobi is a fraud, we do not say it out of hatred, we say it out of what we witnessed when the Pandora fraud was a Gov in Anambra state.

You can fact checked me on this.

Even buses don't get filled up every 30mins. After the morning rush, 5am to 10am, then 4pm to 8pm. You get very few people to carry in-between those hours. And those rush hours are only full one-way in most places.

How can they compete when Lagos is the first destination of investments due to the skewed nature of the system in Nigeria. You guys should be very realistic when you want to say rubbish.

Bro,
Dont get it twisted..Every state has God given resources be it physical,natural or human..How many governors tap these resources to attract investment that will benefit the masses?
These Governors are one of Nigeria's problem.
3/4 of them dont have thinking caps on...
