    If the Chinese people continue to maintain it, so be it. At least, it is functioning in Lagos state. Let other states copy lagos state and incorporate that into their programme. I'm using this medium to all Western state governors to link with Lagos rail so that those of us from Oodua states can live any parts of Yoruba land and commute easily without any hindrance. May God bless our Eko Aromisa legbe legbe!

      Well, I think we should make sure Nigerians are the ones maintaining it over time. (And they follow the procedures strictly).
      If we don’t know how to maintain it as well as them. Then I think we should learn from the Chinese. So we don’t have to keep paying for foreign maintenance.
      Also, other states in Nigeria should copy them, so we can take more vehicles off the road. To make transportation less congested.

      @@BlueIvory4 You are right - A state of population less than 5 million with large land size has no business embarking on this kind of project, they will not be able to recoup the invested funds. That's why, it is mostly a project embarked on by Federal Govt across the world cos of how capital intensive it is.
      By and large, to operate a metro effectively, you need to be able to move people enmass from one point to the other, you need a State with high traffic as Lagos.

    Many are saying the train ride should be cheaper. So how can maintenance be done properly to keep it going, if a cheaper fee is being demanded?

      ​​@@ifyano9731 Can't believe this ideology of wanting to get everything free from the government is still a thing. If you're to compare with U.S or anywhere, private companies build and run the rail line, there was one that was lunched almost the same time with the blue line in the U.S it was private owned.
      And you can't tell me private companies will run train fares at cheap rate. I think if we have private owned lines we won't be thinking this one is too expensive for commuters by the time we compare prices. There are some free metros, true but most of them are not pioneer rail lines or first of their kind. Before any country operate a train line for free it's either it is about a 100yrs old or they've had lots of lines operating that can fund the maintenance of the free line.
      For a rail line that is probably going to fund the construction of other rail lines in the state I do not think it's expensive.

    All the people shouting cheaper, that's absolute balderdash, there's nowhere in the world that trains are cheaper than busses. Think of all the luxuries you get from the train, then compare it to busses, and you think it will be cheaper. I think the government has to consider their running cost, and try to at least break even or make a little profit for lamata.

    Who told Nigerians that trains are cheaper than buses? All over the world, buses and cheaper than trains. They want everything for free. They want good service but never want to pay for anything good and these are the calibre of people that go around shouting " we want good governance" but they never wan to oay the orice associated with good governance.
