Starting Monday, August 11, 2025, commuters on the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line will enjoy improved service frequency, with trains running every 10 minutes. This enhancement is set to drastically reduce travel time between Marina and Mile 2, cutting the journey down to just 10 minutes, a significant improvement of eight minutes from the previous duration.
The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) announced this development as part of ongoing efforts to boost public transportation efficiency and ease traffic congestion on Lagos’s busiest corridors. The Blue Line, which serves thousands of passengers daily, is now positioned to offer faster, more reliable transit for residents and visitors alike.
Transport officials believe that this upgrade will not only save valuable time for daily commuters but also encourage greater use of mass transit systems, thereby reducing the number of vehicles on the road and mitigating traffic gridlock in the bustling commercial hub of Lagos.
With this new schedule, passengers can expect shorter waiting periods and smoother connections, enhancing overall urban mobility within the city. This move aligns with the state government’s broader commitment to modernizing Lagos’s transport infrastructure and improving the quality of life for its inhabitants.
The Lagos Rail Mass Transit remains a critical component of the city’s transport blueprint, and these improvements underscore ongoing investment in sustainable and efficient public transit solutions.
