Abimbola Akinajo, managing director of Lagos Metropolitan Space Transport Authority (LAMATA), disclosed on the weekend that Blue Line practice riders will now journey between Marina and Mile 12 in nearly 18 minutes from the earlier journey time of 25 minutes.
In line with her, there could be a practice each 18 minutes each methods, thus permitting commuters to plan their journeys.
“The brand new practice schedule is probably anticipated to cut back journey instances, encourage extra riders to make use of the practice system throughout off-peak intervals and scale back transport spending.
