Travelling through Kaduna-Abuja route via train is costing more, as the Nigeria Railway Corporation has announced new fares with effect from yesterday.
The 25 per cent hike, which came into effect from February 6, had taken most passengers by surprise.
Passengers will now pay N1, 050 as against N600 for a standard ticket, and N1,500 instead of the N900 being paid for an executive seat from Rigasa to Idu.
Grace Adegbite, the Nigeria Railway Corporation spokesperson Northern District, declined comment on the increase, saying she had just resumed from leave. The Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge line came into operation on July 26, 2016.
