Nigerians Show-off Their Excitement as Abuja-Kaduna Train Service Offers Free Ride (Photos)

Ahead of its launch for commercial use this month, the Abuja-Kaduna train service is currently being tested as new photos reveal that passengers with a valid form of identification boarded a free ride this morning at Idu industrial layout in Abuja.

Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transportation, said that the four coaches on ground could only convey 380 passengers, while the volume of passengers was much higher.

The Federal Government will soon acquire more coaches for the Abuja-Kaduna railway service to enable it to cope with the population of commuters plying the route.
