It was a shocking experience yesterday for the Nigerian Railway Corporation, NRC as passengers refused to turn up as commercial operations began in the over 1.8 billion dollars Lagos Ibadan rail way line which commenced operations on Monday.
The railway line according to the NRC, provides fully air-conditioned train services in the Economy, Business and First Class categories.
Currently it operates only one Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) for the Lagos Ibadan.
Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi had announced a price range of N3,000 for the Economy, N5,000 for the Business and N6,000 for First Class which many Nigerians see as too expensive considering that rail transportation is seen as the cheapest form of transportation.
