The Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue Line will from Monday, 12th August 2024 increase its number of trips from 54 to 72 per day, as the state government introduces a 25 per cent discount for commuters travelling within the off-peak period set at 10.00 am and 4.00 pm daily.

The Managing Director of Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Engr. Abimbola Akinajo who made the announcement says Blue Line train riders will now travel between Marina and Mile 2 in just about 18 minutes from the previous travel time of 25 minutes.

According to her, the implication is that there would be a train every 18 minutes both ways, thus allowing commuters to plan their trips.

However, the current schedule for Sunday operations remained unchanged.
