PHOTO NEWS: Sanwo-Olu inspects new Lagos Blue Line coaches

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Sunday inspected new train coaches for the Blue Line mass transit.

The Governor in company of LAMATA officials inspected the coaches at the National Theatre yard.

The governor who shared pictures of the inspection on his social media handles wrote:

“Today, I unveiled three new train sets for the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue Line at the National Theatre Station.

“Each set includes four cars, and with this addition, we are doubling our current passenger capacity on the Blue Line. This will directly improve the commute for thousands of Lagosians, reducing wait times, speeding up journeys, and making the system more reliable overall. Our goal is to have trains arriving every 10 minutes.

“I’m deeply grateful to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government for their strong support. From procurement to delivery, their backing made this possible.

“Before the end of the year, we’ll receive new trains for the Red Line which will have twice the capacity of the Blue Line trains. Construction on Phase 2 of the Blue Line (Mile 2 to Okokomaiko) is also progressing.

“We’re building infrastructure and a better future for urban mobility in Lagos. And we’re just getting started.”
