Lagos Extends Rail Service Time For ‘The Experience 2025’

Prior to The Experience 2025, the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transportation Authority (LAMATA) announced that the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line would now have extended train services.

Every December, Lagos, Nigeria hosts an annual all-night gospel music concert known as The Experience Lagos.

The event, which was founded in 2006 by Pastor Paul Adefarasin of House on the Rock Church, has grown into the largest gospel concert in Africa, drawing both local and international gospel artists.

The LRMT Blue Line will continue to operate after its regular closing on Friday, according to the agency.

According to a statement signed by its Head of Corporate Communication, Kolawole Ojelabi, the extension was approved to manage the anticipated rise in commuter traffic both before and after the event.

The LRMT Blue Line will operate longer hours on Friday, December 5, 2025, until 11:43 p.m. after the station’s scheduled 9 p.m. closing time.

The statement further stated that work would start much earlier on Saturday to accommodate early-morning travel and post-event return trips.

“Operation will begin at 4:00 am on Saturday, December 6, 2025, and will continue until 9:00 pm,” it stated.

LAMATA also confirmed that commuters can use the LRMT Red Line on Friday and follow its usual route.

The LRMT Red Line will also be operational on Friday, December 5, with the exception of Saturdays, when it runs on Saturdays, keeping its exact schedule of (6:00 am to 10:00 am) and PM Peak (5:20 pm to 8:40 pm), according to the statement.

“Communicators are advised to plan, follow station instructions, and cooperate with officials to ensure a smooth and safe travel experience throughout the event weekend,” it said.
