The governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu in a move to ensure the effectiveness of rail transportation and efficiency announced on Sunday that the Red Line Rail Service starting from Monday will expand its capacity.

According to Sanwo-Olu the Rail Service will offer five mornings and four evening trips daily, up from two-morning trips, so as to ensure better commuting options for residents travelling between Agbado and Oyingbo.

The governor explained further that: “With a total journey time of just 50 minutes from Agbado to Oyingbo and reduced waiting times of two minutes at each station, the Red Line delivers efficient and reliable transportation, making daily commutes faster and more convenient.

“This milestone reflects our commitment to improving mobility across Lagos. The arrival of three new train sets will further boost the Red Line’s capacity, reinforcing its role as a vital part of our integrated transport system.

“The Red Line isn’t just a train service—it’s a game-changer for commuting in Lagos. We are building a city where connectivity drives economic growth and improves the quality of life for all residents.

“This is Lagos, and we keep moving.” The governor emphasised.
