Following the recent increase in the cost of train tickets issued to passengers on board Lagos Mass Transit Train(LMTT) from N460 to N700 per passenger enroute Ijoko/Kajola to Iddo, by Nigerian Railway Corporation(NRC) some passengers have alleged that the corporation showed more interest in making profit at the expense of providing better condition of service to passengers.
A regular passenger, Mr. Pius Mordi in an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP said, management of NRC and the Lagos district management have, over the years, paid less attention to providing comfort in the coaches used to convey passengers on the narrow gauge Lagos mass transit train service despite making profit from regular increases in ticket fares under any slightest excuse.
He noted that,some of the passenger seats have either been damaged or not covered with leather, thus, making it uncomfortable for passengers to seat down properly.
