The Lagos State government has reduced the fare for Rail Mass Transit Blue Line by 25 percent.
However, the discount will be available for commuters travelling within the off-peak period of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily.
In a statement issued by the state’s Ministry of Information and Strategy on Saturday, the government revealed that the Blue Line would increase its number of trips from 54 to 72 per day from Monday.

It added that passengers would now travel between Marina and Mile 2 in just about 18 minutes from the previous travel time of 25 minutes.
“However, the current schedule for Sunday operations remained unchanged.
“The new train schedule is potentially expected to reduce journey times, encourage more riders to use the train system during off-peak periods, and reduce transport spending. The new timetables are available on the LAMATA website, stations, and social media handles,” the statement added.
