The Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi,  led key officials from the Ministry of Transportation on a non-fee paying ride aboard the Redline Rail, from Ikeja to Agbado, marking a significant milestone in the testing process of the ongoing trial phase.

For the past six weeks, the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has conducted test runs without passengers, achieving a 90 percent success rate.

This current phase, involving non-fee paying passengers, aims to study passenger’s behaviour along the corridor and provide LAMATA with valuable insights to fine-tune the operations before the official launch of passenger services.

The train arrived at Ikeja Train Station at approximately 1:19 PM, boarding passengers before making brief stops at Agege stations, and ultimately arriving at Agbado Train Station at 1:47 PM.

The return journey from Agbado commenced at 2:50 PM, with the train reaching Ikeja at 3:19 PM.

Among the key officials who joined the Commissioner on the exercise were; the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Olawale Musa; the Managing Director of LAMATA, Engr. Abimbola Akinajo, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Transportation, Hon. Toyin Aremu and Directors in the Ministry of Transportation amongst others.
