Lagos, Best Railway Transportation In Africa
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- The Lagos Nigeria railway train stands as a beacon of modern transportation infrastructure not just within the African continent but on a global scale. Its inception marked a significant milestone in Nigeria's efforts towards improving public transportation and fostering economic growth. With its first stage covering over 30 kilometers of overhead rail across the vibrant city, it offers commuters a unique and unparalleled experience.
One of the standout features of the Lagos railway train is its innovative design, incorporating an overhead rail system that not only efficiently utilizes space but also provides commuters with a breathtaking view of the cityscape. As passengers glide through the bustling metropolis, they are treated to panoramic vistas of Lagos, a city renowned for its rich cultural tapestry, dynamic skyline, and bustling streets.
The overhead rail system not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the transportation network but also serves a practical purpose by minimizing traffic congestion on the city's already congested roads. Commuters no longer have to contend with the frustrations of gridlock traffic, as the railway train offers a swift and reliable alternative for traversing the urban landscape.
Beyond its functionality, the Lagos railway train is a testament to Nigeria's commitment to sustainable development and environmental conservation. By promoting mass transit, the railway system helps to reduce carbon emissions and alleviate the environmental impact of traditional modes of transportation such as cars and buses. This commitment to sustainability underscores Nigeria's proactive approach towards addressing climate change and promoting eco-friendly initiatives.

Great job Nigeria,it's actually better and safer than the filthy crime ridden train stations in Amerik.k.ka❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
It just opened 2 months ago
Funny thing is, the railway should've been over 2 decades ago when the current president of nigeria was fomerly lagos state governor, buh the then president disapproved claiming only federal government can build railways
Instead of a light raill why didn't they build subway *Underground*
@@alicetafara9514 you can't build a subway in lagos because of flooding, plus not all cities need subway, subway is costly, there's no difference, one's just underground and the other we can all see
@@alicetafara9514it’s basically the type of soil (sand and silts) in Lagos is not feasible and is to unstable for that kind of system to answer your question.
@@user-cz9ph3ks5b Lagos is a big city, very interesting 🤔
@@IOdele Hmnn this makes sense, bc if it was they would of been subway instead of a metro rail
Thanks for sharing video 😍 very nice ❤
Well done Lagos 😊
That beautiful
Well done 💯✅✅. Lagos State.
Lagos needs more housing infrastructure. A city with that population would need more affordable high rises for the lower and middle class. Nigeria's cities should have more high rises. It is suitable for the population. Rather than spread out as slums it would be more organized if they live on high rises..Sadly the only tall buildings are offices and hotels which isn't a good planning within the city center. A lot of work is needed. China and India have a lot of land. They even have the common sense to build affordable high rises wirthin their city centers like Mumbai and Shanghai. Nigerias land is small and the population is growing exponentially. Sadly the leaders dont have the slightest clue to understand that the solution is to build high rises to contain the population in the smallest state and largest city like lagos.
Nairobi in Kenya and Luanda Angola are far more developed by housing infrastructure compared the the many slums in Lagos.
Here we go, they are crawling out of the woodwork to spew the same old irrelevant/diversionary drivels which they are permanently hardwired to spew. Positive stories out of Lagos/Nigeria always bring them out of their hibernating holes. Go on Robby, give us more of what you've got.
High rise buildings infrastructure when u haven't solved the power generation problem would be counterproductive. China that is doing this is a technology driven country that has longed dealt with power generation so lifts and comfort going upwards can be maintained
@@ugoawa3171 People like you are the reason why most places in Nigeria are ridden with slums. If you build affordable high rises and decent modern buildings, the government can decide the amount of electricity to be distributed to each apartment. If you live in houses made from zinc and cartons and wood planks like all those makoko and other ghetto areas, what makes you think the government will be willing to distribute electricity to places that will soon be demolished. You build the city properly first then decide how much electricity should be distributed. You don't push people into pig swirl slums and give them electricity in their bad conditions. By your understanding you want the slums and underdeveloped areas to remain but with electricity while I want a well designed city with electricity.
A city must be well built with affordable high rising within the city center for lower and middle class citizens. All roads must contain side walks road signs and the streets must be well paved. There should be garbage and sewage treatment plants. There should be a weekly plan to collect garbage from homes to the treatment plants to recycle the garbage into natural soil composites not to landfills as well as plastics, metals,papers being collected to the plants for recycling purposes. Roads within cities must be built with underground drainage systems not with opened gutters filled with garbage where mosquitoes lay their eggs to spread diseases. There should be a weekly plan to clean the streets with automated street cleaning vehicles to prevent dust and garbage from accumulating on the sides of the roads. With a properly and neatly built city with proper housing infrastructure, electricity can be distributed to homes and used for street lighting, traffic lights and so on.There should also be water purification plants in every state to supply water to every home for cooking and bathing. So building a city is not about ignoring the slums and filth for electricity alone but getting rid of corrupt money pocketing leaders first and putting leaders who have vision for city development that are better than European and Asian standards.
Why youtube is trying to hide my comment which it percieves as offensive is beyond me.
I make this comments because i want Nigeria developed.
High rise building involves a lot of maintenance. They are some tall buildings in China that requires oxygen . Do you have enough oxygen in ur hospitals ?😂 Anyway Lagos is really trying. Everythings are in Lagos already. I mean everything's.
Transportation should be the main focus right now. The traffic in Lagos is the one reason I won't consider living there. The Lagos govt is on the right track focusing on transportation.
They need to keep expanding and build subway lines too. Rail transit will help clear up a lot of congestion
YES, OUR FATHER ALMIGHTY SONINI NANINI HAS BLESSED HIS PEOPLE / AFRICA...
God bless Nigeria .
beautiful
🇳🇬📈👍
It is Lagos State 100% funded. Zero debt.
Are you sure of that?
@@johnojinmah8357go and your father
Yes,no debt!
@@kellysuccess9788the project was fund by Chinese government and Nigeria government
Built by a Chinese company, funded by the Lagos state government.
When we start making our train you can talk but before then enjoy your weekend
Just imagine the rubbish you just wrote. Chinese built the latest rail system in Russia, so what’s your point?.Go read the theory of comparative advantage in economics so you know how business is done internationally..
I like the thinking. But you have to be realistic. This is a good start. Can't build train when we don't produce steel in the country yet.
we literally have a rail cart manufacturing plant in oyo state😐 plus it's not a must that wee build our own rail, a lot of western countries in europe don't even make their own trains so i don't get your point
How about you take a break from being a keyboard activist disturbing us with your talk-without-work activism on TH-cam comments section and try being that pioneer for Nigeria by building a train for us? Oh please, be the pioneer, build a train for us so that we don't have to join the rest of the world to go all the way to China to buy those trains.
@@thatoneguywholovesthena-4529Obviously the poster doesn't know that and is also too proud to come back and admit it.
Even if Nigeria begins to manufacture the trains his criticism will just move to something else.
Nigeria will never get his approval, he has probably already decided that within himself. It can't be helped.
Good work and congratulations
It’s diesel powered… by the diesel locomotive at the rear side of the train 3:50
That was before it was commissioned. The project is electric…
It has electrified the electrification is on the side of the track
Europeans are envious to see that Africa can poses such inflastractur without there help
Did they tell you that?
_…but with someone else’s help nonetheless._
Don’t you think it’s better to save the boasting until we maybe start building 80% of it by ourselves?
After all, those *Europeans and the Chinese no get two heads*
Are those trains electric? Coz I don’t see the overhead electric lines 🤷♂️
Even better the track is electrified! much better than europe
They are its actually a metro they usually have electrification on the track side
it only goes like once in a half hour xD so its not the best yet.
The strange thing is that the lagos govt can build railways yet cannot supply 24hours light to its citizens. What a misplaced priority
Not just Lagos govt. but the Nigerian govt. is incapable of running a tribe, much less a country.
A *mass transit* system is a misplaced priority for a huge metropolis like Lagos? The same infrastructure that has moved over a million Lagosians in less than a year is a misplaced priority? Are you seriously suggesting that Lagos should only build a metro rail system only after providing "24hours light"? The two services are not mutually exclusive, you know? They don’t cancel each other out. I mean you can build one whilst still working hard to achieve the other. Okay, I have to log off now to go and have a good laugh. My tummy can't hold it any longer. Just when you think you've seen it all here, then another one comes and impress you with something even more incredible. What happened to the school/educational system? Good god, sigh.
@@alexbanj7a7bcI also think it's a misdirected priority. Building infrastructure alone won't solve the congestion issue. Focusing on reducing the city's population would be more effective or at least dissuading further influx. Initiating large-scale agricultural projects could generate opportunities in rural areas and help achieve this goal.
And when this was not in place you were the one shouting that a stats as big as this doesn't have a metro system.
You are just a bitter soul full of negativity!
This one will somewhere else celebrating and overhyped Alex otti over construction of gutter ooo
Nonsense they don't even have an electrified sgr that's light rajl
*Nonsense* you wrote. Nonsense, *writ large* .
Another Chinese debt trap 😡
You have become a menace and a nuisance to positives of Nigeria. You need to chill bro. Toxicity kills fast.
they build complaint, they dont build, complaint...you and your kind never have any positive thing to say
Ignorance is that you? 😅
How can a project (i) that is actually being implemented, moving people and creating transport efficiency and (ii) that has been PAID IN FULL based on state/national funding, be a "Chinese debt trap"? Some of you people half-read and get on the internet and make yourselves look super stupid.
What about the Western Debt trap, lagos government used the money from private investors, but Chinese build the metro line. Mrs Chinese debt trap, the Western slogan of envy
