[@ibrahimbadamasi1211]

For real good advice amazing young man ❤

[@jacstvofficial4490]

I like the idea of few months of free ride! Gives people time to adjust to the new schedule.

[@Annointed-r5n]

We stand too in the uk during rushing hour..

[@OlawoleIshola]

@@Annointed-r5n oh okay… will try explore the train in Lagos during rush hour too.

[@Annointed-r5n]

@OlawoleIshola am for real ..

[@OlawoleIshola]

@@Annointed-r5n I’m coming to explore it, secure me a seat!🤩

[@idaborcharles3380]

Nice one So calming to watch 👏🏼

[@OlawoleIshola]

Glad you enjoyed it❤️‍🔥

[@DAMINATION_1]

Glad to see it's having alot of usage

[@OlawoleIshola]

It is o!🤩

[@elyonkanto4506]

This was heartwarming to watch fr. Hopefully it’s well maintained. Seconding to what the last guy said about security. It’s very imperative to have security at every station considering the state of the country. I’m sure they’ll implement once it’s properly launched. Thanks for sharing and a job well done, Wole🙏🏾

[@OlawoleIshola]

Thank you for watching 🤩🙏🏾

[@Freddvibzey]

Actually there are armed and unarmed security officials inside that train, I have used the train and i know for a fact cos they don't wear uniforms. Another thing is that CCTV cameras are installed both in the train station and inside the train... People are being watched. That young guy is being naive about how the security system there works, let him bring his weapon and try something

[@okezuo6067]

How accessible is the station at central area from the nearest road

[@OlawoleIshola]

@@okezuo6067 it is very easy, once you find your way to the Central Area, you can take a taxi or order a ride, it’s located at the Central Business District off Constitution Avenue.

Is that DMU(Diesel Multiple Unit) rolling stock?

[@sjeriemandagi2266]

Abuja is city modren 👍👍

[@PHILIPEPHRON-vk7mb]

It will get better soon as this is just the starting 🙏

[@abiolakusimo8621]

Good job.Thanks.

Abuja metro is built by Fed. Government while Lagos metro is built by State Government.

[@miftaudeenabdulhameed1320]

Abuja by FCT actually

[@oluwaseyisubair4426]

@miftaudeenabdulhameed1320 Fed. Allocation.

[@emmanuelogundipe3328]

This guy in White 😂 That means if this guy comes to Lagos he will think it's not safe but the thing is the metal detector in Lagos is even more advanced than the one at Abuja cos it doubles as a camera, metal detector and it also checks your temperature. There is no way you can avoid going through it cos there are several at every door plus they have a control center where they monitor movements. Dude is watching too many action films.

[@emmanuelogundipe3328]

There is nothing like metro light rail. It's either a metro or a light rail. This is a metro. We do not have any light rail system in Lagos. We currently have four (active) metro lines (Abuja and Lagos ) and two (abandoned) mono rails (at P.H and Obudu). Light rails don't have train stations, they have train stops.

[@akslinktim2549]

The last guy in white don’t know metal detectors machine works , they don’t need to search you someone monitor the machine as people go through it and they can see everything on you, and also the machine make sounds not because you have dangerous things with you but it sounds too if you have keys and coins with you

[@Freddvibzey]

The metro light train being packed with people is not really becos it is free for now, even though it may play a part. All over the world in major cities, metro rail can be packed full of people especially during peak periods. This one is not even packed, go to Japan, Korea, UAE, UK, New York etc and see packed trains😅 it is called Mass transit for a reason. All the trains havent been deployed yet on the Abuja metro to increase the amount of trips and time schedules. Please let that guy @14:40 know that there's security on that train including cctv. By the way what time of the day was this? Good job bro

[@OlawoleIshola]

Wow! This is very insightful, thanks for sharing. ❤️‍🔥🙏🏾 this was in the morning around 9AM

[@Freddvibzey]

@@OlawoleIshola Great improvement, same time the day I boarded the train around May 2024 when it was first launched, very few people on board that period from Abuja metro to the Airport

[@OlawoleIshola]

@ The crowd I experienced was nothing compared to Lagos, in Lagos the train is usually empty.

[@emmanuelogundipe3328]

For Lagos the crowd depends on the time of day. Rush hour period are always morning and evening. Even the crowd during that period is way more than what you have in Abuja. Plus it's normal for the Abuja train to be crowded cos it has few trips. In Lagos trains are available every eighteen minutes. A train can come and leave with the crowd and the next train might have few people on board that's what a metro feels like. Lagos is working towards having trains available at each station every five minutes.

[@OlawoleIshola]

@@emmanuelogundipe3328 thank you for sharing this, I’ll try to explore the rush hour in Lagos too.

[@jeromeshaguy4137]

A big step forward for Abuja mass transit. Nonetheless, we keep building high maintenance infrastructure, in a nation known for its very poor maintenance culture. For instance, I see white pillars at the entrance, those pillars will become filthy in no time at all! They should’ve gone creative with treated concrete, which wears hard. And is low maintenance. Anyhow, we applaud this effort whilst monitoring for maintenance and improvements.

[@SimeonOla-c6x]

Because it's free... By the time it's started with average price, the crowd will reduce, we would now have peak hours in the morning and closing evening hours..... Then, people can time their movements

[@OlawoleIshola]

I thought as much 🤩

[@youme1414]

Imagine Abuja railway with people who are not dressed smart. There are so many wrong with our country. We have to force ourselves to modernise for goodness sake. Nobody is going to do it for us. I am not happy with the level of passengers putting load inside the train. It speaks volumes! Thank you, sir.

[@Freddvibzey]

What exactly do you mean by they aren't dressed smart and what's your definition of modernize cos u seem to have a confusing opinion?

[@olowotaiwo4578]

The Guy always make unwise statements. Imagine his myopic view and reasoning, what is the definition of dressing smart,so putting in our traditional outfit is local to you abi?.

[@Freddvibzey]

@olowotaiwo4578 I know where he/she is probably headed with the comment

[@Elizabethbrown.]

The person behind this account is definitely deranged mentally.

[@youme1414]

@@Freddvibzey This is our federal capital for goodness sake. Must we always look like peasant all the time just to show that we are poor? Must we have to put heavy loads inside metro system? It is so annoying to say the least. I am not here to baby seat anybody. Thank you, sir.
