    This is the first video of the Redline metro rail since commercial operations began, that I'd see a very high percentage of passengers in the train. Gradually its getting more awareness. I dont want to believe that the low turnout is due to high fare only, becos even whilst the train ride was totally free for 3 months, there was very low turnout as well. Well done Purity

      Thank you. Yes it's getting the awareness. I think the free ride had a low turnout due to awareness also, and the fact that you couldn't just walk into the station to take a ride, you had to apply online, then wait to be picked.

      With more patronage there would be more and faster departure times which would make the service even better

      The low turnout is due mainly to the unfavourable schedules. The red line sharing the same tracks with NRC is a bad idea in my opinion.

      It's filled up, yes, but the stations are practically empty. So more passengers are necessary so there'll be a need for more trains or coaches, or schedules.

    • @swing740
      @swing740  Месяц назад +3

      Oh no. The reason you tap out is so that they can charge you accordingly depending on the station you alighted. For instance, if you're going from Agege to ikeja which is just a stop away, you should not pay the same fare with someone that's going all the way to Oyingbo.
