The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has begun stakeholder engagement meetings for the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Purple Line project.
This was revealed in a post on X on Tuesday by Jubril Gawat, the spokesperson for Governor Jide Sanwo-Olu.
Gawat said the stakeholder meeting was designed as a precursor to scoping activities for the 57km rail line that will stretch from Redemption Camp in Ogun State to the Volkswagen area along the Lagos Badagry Expressway.
The Purple Line is expected to feature 17 stations and is also designed to integrate with the Red Line at Agege, the Blue Line at Volkswagen, and the Yellow Line at Isheri-Osun.
The rail line is also expected to create a comprehensive and interconnected public transportation network, Gawat said.He noted that a team from LAMATA visited Ikeja and Agege Local Government Areas as well as Ojodu Local Council Development Authority to initiate discussions with local stakeholders today.
