‘Shorter Wait Times’ : Sanwo-Olu Announces The Delivery Of Three Train Sets For Lagos Blue Line
Babajide Sanwo-Olu announces the arrival of three brand-new train sets of 12 coaches for the Lagos Blue Line.
Three additional train sets expected to increase the daily trips along the corridor to about 100 trips and a 10-minute headway.
Since the start of commercial operations on Sept 4th 2023, the Blue Line has served about four million passengers.
The Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced the arrival of three (3) brand-new train sets of 12 coaches ordered by the Lagos State Government last year for the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue Line.
The phase of the electrified Lagos Blue Line currently runs 72 trips per day, but the procurement of these three additional rolling stocks is expected to increase the daily trips along the corridor to about 100 trips and a 10-minute headway.
“Dear Lagosians, I’m happy to share that we have taken delivery of three brand-new train sets of 12 coaches in total for the Lagos Blue Line Rail, Sanwo-Olu wrote on his official X handle on Thursday June 5 2025.”
“This means shorter wait times and more comfortable trips for everyone using the Blue Line. It’s a step forward in our efforts to make 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. I know it’s been a long time coming, but I truly believe we’re building something that will change how we move around this city for the better. Thank you for being patient and hopeful. We’re getting there, together.”
The arrival of three new train sets is expected to further enhance the Lagos Blue Line’s capacity and service to Lagos residents. Since the start of commercial operations on September 4th 2023, the Blue Line has already served about four million passengers.
