According to Akinajo, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu would lead his executive council members and other dignitaries on the passenger operations inauguration and ride with commuters on the first fee-paying passenger trip.
Akinajo said, “Consequently, the schedule for the train service has been adjusted with passenger movement commencing from 6 am from Agbado
“Before now, trips emanated from Oyingbo at 9am. The first train therefore got to Agbado at 10.07am.
“The adjusted timetable foreshadows upcoming commercial passenger operations commencing on October 15.”
Furthermore, Akinajo noted that the new timetable was the outcome of data gathered through a series of tests, including the non-fee-paying passengers.
