Abimbola Akinajo, the Managing Director of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), has announced that the Lagos Red Rail line will begin full passenger operations on October 15th, 2024.
According to a notice released on Thursday by LAMATA, the state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, members of his executive council, and other dignitaries will launch the passenger operations and ride with commuters on the first fee-paying passenger trip.
Mr. Akinajo, while disclosing that train services will commence daily from Agbado at 6.00 am, explained that the new timetable was the outcome of data gathered through the series of tests, including that for the non-fee-paying passengers. According to him, the new timetable gives priority to the origin trips from Agbado where riders live and work at Ikeja, Oshodi, and Lagos Island.
