 And a long-awaited Lagos State Blue Rail has commenced commercial operations with Governor Babajidis and Waluu taking the first ride. Plus, TV News correspondent Love Oyedokon captures the epic, making moment and now reports. The first ride took off at exactly 9.40 am, fully loaded from Marina to Mile 2, having Governor Babajidis and Waluu and some selected process taking the ride. Don't forget to be stopping at the National National Station for 90 seconds. Watch the platform, be careful when you are backing from the platform. Our first stop was at the National Theatre Station, Igamon, at 9.22 am. The event continued to Orile Igamon and had another stop by 9.29 am. The train thereafter continued to Alaba Station at 9.35 am and finally got to Mile 2 Station by 9.40 am. It took us approximately 18 minutes from Marina to Mile 2. Visibly elated, Waluu feeling fulfilled charged residents to take ownership of the facility. The Governor reminded them that the ride track is electrically powered while warning against pedestrian crossing. He also urged Lagotians to purchase the car record to be able to cruise on the train. The Lastra card, which is our state citizens identity card, can also be used on the train. So I want to employ all of you also, especially students, especially you students, to go get your Lastra card because you can actually travel with the Lastra card on the train because it has a chip and I think it has a wallet as well. So it has the ability to be able to do tap-in and tap-up as well. On the car record, let me also announce that we've got almost 4 million citizens that have the car record already. And so this car record can be used on the train, on our buses, BRT and also on the ferry service. So let's go out there and get our car record. Last TV News spoke with some passengers on their experience on the ride. The journey time for me is the kind of most important thing I want to take away from this ride. You can imagine from Marina to Mai Tu and it takes you just about 26 minutes. That speaks a lot. Nobody ever believed it was going to take off, but at the end of the day, we are able to get it done. After all that now, what we need in Nigeria, we are all overwhelmed with maintenance culture. I want to urge the girls to take ownership of this particular project, make sure that it's well maintained, make sure that it will patronize, make sure that we key into the rules and regulations, guiding the usage of this particular train so that it will serve all of us and serve us much more better. The first phase of the rail line extends from Marina to Mai Tu, with five stations located in Marina, National Theater, Igomu, Alaba and Orile. Commercial operations have taken off in earnest at the Lagos Blue Rail Line. Now Lagos have different choices at their fingertips. They can choose either to go by train or by the usual commercial process and even go by sea. Love Igokubo Yedokou. Love Stephanie. Hello. Hope you enjoyed the news.
