The Nation Newspaper Why rail passenger revenue dropped - NRC Official

attributed the drop in its passenger revenue to the reduction of its trips, repairs of some portion of the tracks, reduced speed and fear of attack by bandits.According to the official who didn’t want to be named, the drop in revenue had nothing to do with ticket prices, stating that the Corporation has not reviewed its price since 2022.

“According to the letter, there was a plot by a coalition of banditry syndicates to attack the Abuja — Kaduna Train Service to kidnap passengers on board for ransom. He continued: “Aside from the security factor, another factor is the speed at which the train travels. The train used to travel for about two hours per trip but because of some bad portions of the tracks and to avoid accidents, the speed was reduced and travel time became three hours or more. This made some of our passengers who had appointments to catch up with to seek alternative and that affected our revenue.
