Lagos State’s Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced a major expansion of the Red Line Rail Service operations starting today. He made this known via a post on X on Sunday.
“Starting tomorrow, the Red Line Rail Service will expand its capacity, offering five mornings and four evening trips daily, up from two morning trips,” the governor announced in his tweet.
The route connects Agbado to Oyingbo, with trains completing the journey in 50 minutes. According to Governor Sanwo-Olu, passengers will experience “reduced waiting times of two minutes at each station,” making commutes more efficient.
