The Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue Line will increase its daily trips from 54 to 72 starting Monday, according to Mrs. Abimbola Akinajo, the Managing Director of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA).
In a statement released in Lagos, Akinajo announced that while the Sunday schedule remains unchanged, the travel time between Marina and Mile 2 will be reduced to about 18 minutes, down from the previous 25 minutes. This change means there will be a train every 18 minutes in both directions, allowing commuters to better plan their journeys.
Akinajo also revealed a 25 percent fare discount for commuters traveling during off-peak hours, set between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. daily.
“The new train schedule is expected to shorten journey times, attract more riders during off-peak periods, and help reduce transportation costs,” she said. The updated timetables are available on LAMATA’s website, at stations, and on their social media platforms.
Since commencing passenger operations on September 4, 2023, the Blue Line has transported nearly two million passengers.
