The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwolu, has officially announced the commencement of the Red Line Rail's invitational passenger operations, marking a significant milestone in the city's public transportation overhaul. The Red Line will operate four daily trips between Oyingbo and Agbado, offering a modern and efficient alternative for thousands of commuters.
The initial phase of operations will focus on assessing the system’s safety, reliability, and efficiency, while gathering valuable feedback from passengers—an essential step toward full commercial service. Once fully operational, the Red Line is expected to run 20 daily trips, accommodating over 500,000 passengers each day, significantly easing traffic congestion.
This development is more than just a transportation initiative; it represents a vital link that connects communities and drives economic growth in Lagos.
