Arisa explained that the corporation recorded a total of 173,488 passengers in 2021 and 519,738 in 2022.

The official attributed the increase in number of passengers in 2022 to awareness and free rides organised by the Federal Government towards the end of 2021 till the first week in January 2022.

“N6,500 for Business class, N3,600 for standard class and it cost N3,000 for standard class for minors.

“From Abeokuta to Ibadan the standard gauge fare is N3000 for executive, N2,000 for business class and N1,000 for standard class.”

Arisa said that the corporation also recorded 524,093 passengers on the Mass Transit train from Lagos to Ijoko in Ogun in 2021 and 964,631 passengers in 2022.

The district manager said that the corporation runs four trips daily from Lagos to Ijoko — two in the morning between 6.30 a.m., and 7.00 a.m., while in the evening there are two trips at 5.30 p.m., and 6.00 p.m., respectively.

He said that the corporation would continue to create more awareness on its services, adding that various social media platforms have been adopted to create awareness for the public.
