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.

“The Standard Gauge fare from Lagos to Ibadan (Mobolaji Johnson Ebute -Meta to Obafemi Awolowo Station in Moniya) cost N9,000 for executive class.
