On Monday, September 4, the Lagos State administration claims passenger service on the Blue Line Rail would start.
On his official Twitter account, @jidesanwoolu, state governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced that limited passenger operations would start on September 5 from 6:30 to 10 am and afternoon peak from 4 to 9:30 pm. The operation will begin with 12 flights for two weeks before increasing to 76 trips every day, he added.
“Over 300 CCTV cameras have been installed throughout the rail, with over 30 cameras specifically monitoring the rails, and command and control centers are available in every station along the route.

“Lagos, this is your project. Take ownership and treat it with decency as you would treat anything that belongs to you. Any altercation or disturbance on the train will not be tolerated. It goes without saying that vandalism also will not be tolerated,” he noted.
Collaborating with the governor, the Managing Director, Lagos State Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Mrs Abimbola Akinajo, who embarked on test running of the train with newsmen, said that with feasibility study, the train system would be conveying 175,000 passengers on a daily basis.
She said that though the commercial operations would have begun in the first quarter of 2023, it was delayed to ensure that all modalities were in place.
She said that the Blue Line Rail service had five stations, which comprise Marina, National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu, Alaba, and Mile 2.
