The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) said no fewer than 30,000 passengers have enjoyed the free train ride on the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge between Dec. 24 and 31, 2021.

The Federal Government had declared free train rides from Dec.24 till Jan. 4, 2022, to all Nigerians to ease the movement of citizens during the Yuletide period.

He, however, said that the train had always been filled to capacity before the declaration of the free ride, adding that the free service now affords passengers the opportunity not to pay. “On Dec. 24 we ran four trips from Ibadan to Lagos and four trips also from Lagos to Ibadan, making a total of eight trips per day on both ends.

He, however, complained of passengers boarding the train for the fun of it and having nothing to do in either Ibadan or Lagos during this free service and thereby disallowing those with tangible businesses.
