Service Notices
Passengers on the Lagos Island–Ikorodu corridor may experience delays of 10–20 minutes during morning peak hours (7:00–9:00 AM) due to traffic on the approach to CMS. LAMATA is working with traffic management authorities to resolve this.
LAMATA has introduced the Cowry Card contactless payment system across all Blue Line stations and selected BRT terminals. Top up your card at any station ticket office or online at cowrycard.ng.
