The Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line is one of the six rail lines and monorail prescribed for Lagos in the state’s Strategic Transport Master Plan (STMP).
The LRMT Blue Line is a 27-kilometer rail system from Marina to Okokomaiko. Construction, divided into phases for ease of implementation and is expected to move more than 500,000 passengers when the entire line is completed.
Recall that Sanwo-Olu had, during the campaign period for the office, prior to 2019 guber polls, promised to complete the infrastructure for the first phase of the LRMT Blue Line and bring it to passenger operation.
The first phase is a 13-kilometer stretch from Marina to Mile 2 and has five stations at Mile 2, Suru-Alaba, Orile Iganmu, National Theatre and Marina. It is expected to move about 200,000 passengers per day.
The rail system would be powered by electricity from an independent power plant to be purposely built for its operation.
Speaking at the event held at National Art Theatre, Igamu, Apapa, Sanwo-Olu, sad, “In our projection, we reckon that this phase of the rail project would move no less than 250,000 passengers daily, while the entire line when completed would move more than 500,000 passengers.”
