The Lagos State Government has announced the arrival of three additional train sets, comprising 12 coaches, for the Blue Line Rail project.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu made this known via his official X handle on Thursday, stating the positive impact the new coaches will have on commuters.
”We have taken delivery of three brand-new train sets of 12 coaches in total for the Lagos Blue Line Rail,” Sanwo-Olu stated.
“It’s a step forward in our efforts to make the daily commute in Lagos less stressful and more reliable. We’re not stopping here. Work is ongoing to extend the Blue Line all the way to Okokomaiko, and we’re aiming to finish that by 2026.”
The governor described the development as a major leap toward transforming the state’s transportation landscape and expressed gratitude to residents for their continued patience and support. “Thank you to the people of Lagos for their patience and hope,” he said.
The Blue Line, which commenced operations on September 4, 2023, initially ran 12 daily trips. Following a temporary suspension announced on October 11, 2023, the service resumed shortly after with an increased frequency of 54 daily trips.
