For Lagosians, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has some good news.
The super-fast and comfortable intra-city trains coming will not charge exorbitantly, he says.
According to him, people will not pay more than they pay for the state’s BRT buses.
He made the revelation on Friday morning when he spoke on Channels TV’s ‘Sunrise’.
Sanwo-Olu said, “N200, N250, it (train ticket) probably won’t be more than that. The fare structure will be (determined by) where you are joining and taking off but typically it won’t be more than what you are running on your regular BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) today.
“For it to be accessible, affordability is really critical for people to want to make it a better option. You can say it is quicker, instead of you staying one hour on the road, it is going to take you 20 minutes.
“So, affordability is very critical. It is certainly not going to be in thousands, like using N5,000 on. A train journey, it is nothing close that, it is still going to be in the regular N200, that is what we are looking at.”
