The Lagos Rail Mass Transit Red Line’s first phase, spanning 27 kilometers from Oyingbo to Agbado in Ogun State, is set to commence full fee-paying passenger operations next Tuesday
The Managing Director of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Mrs Abimbola Akinajo made this known in a statement.
Mrs. Akinajo announced that daily train services on the Red Line will now begin at six o’clock in the morning from Agbado to Oyingbo.
She stated that the new timetable was the outcome of data gathered through the series of tests, including the non-fee-paying passengers.
According to her, the new timetable gives priority to the origin trips from Agbado where riders live and work at Ikeja, Oshodi, and Lagos Island.
She noted that for passengers whose journeys terminate on Lagos Island, buses would be available at the Oyingbo bus terminal for them to complete their journeys.
