The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) will run three additional trips on the Lagos–Ibadan Train Service (LITS) corridor on Monday, March 23, to accommodate increased passenger demand following the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
NRC Chief Public Relations Officer, Callistus Unyimadu, disclosed the schedule in a statement on Friday in Lagos, saying the extra services are aimed at easing congestion and giving commuters more travel options.
“The extra trip is aimed at easing passenger movement and providing more travel options for commuters returning after the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations,” he said.
