Abi the billions of dollars don enter voicemail ![]() www.nairaland.com/attachments/2135824_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188 TTC in talks to sell old trains to Lagos. Are they safe enough? AUGUST 10, 2011 As Toronto trainspotters gleefully take maiden rides on the TTC's Rocket, commuters in Lagos, Nigeria may be about to get some new trains of their own. Our old ones. A TTC spokesperson has confirmed that the commission is negotiating with a private group to sell up to 260 used train cars to the West African megacity's new transit project. "I can confirm that the TTC is in discussion with a third party that wants to purchase trains for Lagos," said commission spokesperson Brad Ross. "Over a period of time, they will be taken out of service and then transported over to Nigeria." The cars being considered for sale are the TTC's old H-5 and H-6 models, which will be decommissioned as the TTC rolls out its new fleet of Rockets. Ross predicts the earliest they could be shipped to Nigeria is sometime in 2012. Traffic snarls are already a major economic problem in the Nigerian capital, a booming city that will reach an estimated population of 25 million by 2015. A new above-ground rail system designed to carry 1.5 million people a day has already broken ground, and Lagos Governor Babtunde Fashola has said it "will be the most multi-dimensional and most impactful" of the government's efforts to reduce traffic congestion. Fashola visited Toronto earlier this year to inspect the TTC trains. The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

mamaafrik: For rail, I would do Lagos Kano 3X over Lagos Calabar. From Kano, you can harmonise Agric produce and even process them and forward them to Lagos for export. They earns the country money and boosts our economy. From the Calabar route however, movement there is import oriented. you majorly import and move to that axis without exporting anything. Instead of rail, let the ports in Calabar be put in place to handle larger volumes of cargo and then divert those cargoes to that port. 2 Likes |

mamaafrik: Lagos to Calabar first because of the trades/economy/ tourism/social culture factor and administrative. It will serve the entire south east and port Harcourt, But Lagos to Kano, will only serve Kano and Kaduna. Both states don't imports up to east esp Anambra, Abia, port Harcourt, Enugu and Imo. Even the shoes in abia and cars in Anambra can be moved outside, spare parts will be able to be imported also. 1 Like |

anonimi: Buhari recently completed several train stations on the Ajaokuta Itakpe, Lagos Ibadan and other rail routes, your leaders in PDP were busy fighting over naming the train stations. GEJ your leader in PDP is Buhari's boy. Buhari is the one commissioning and naming legacies in GEJ's name since you thieves couldn't do anything in 16 years. You are an inconsequential nobody in PDP. Keep on posting foolish pictures online when your PDP Secretariat is an incompleted building housing vagabonds. 1 Like |

Sammy07: All the imports the East do, how much does it add to Nigeria's economy? The Agric exports the North does, how much does it add to the economy? That is the first thing to ask. The North needs a rail line to facilitate exports so that Nigeria and Nigerians make more money. The East needs a seaport closer home to facilitate imports. A seaport closer would also decongest Lagos. 1 Like |

Aq IgboSomalia: The poster said, which should come first. If they have rail, it doesn't mean they won't have seaport. Lagos and warri has seaports and rail. So what are you saying? Do you know how much federal government generates from imports? I maintain that Lagos to Calabar should come first before Kano and Kaduna. Nah Igbos go even use Kano and Kaduna maybe 30% They will export items from alaba to Kano. |

Sammy07: I argue based on facts not, emotions. How would Igbos use Kaduna and Kano for Exports when the financial parameters of Kano show that Kano's Exports dwarf the Exports of the SE? What of revenues from Kano? Reliance on imports kill an economy, exports grow it. Any sensible government would prioritise exports over imports. 2 Likes |

CARLOSZ: I am still quoting you: The reality: good to say that we the young people who should be the vanguards of socioeconomic transformation are the ones allowing the status quo to continue to linger on and on. The day we'd wake up to see all that our fathers worked for being put to shambles before our eyes, we'd realise we had met the reality and left things unturned. My point is that the Nigeria we abuse today will turn against our children tomorrow. Facts |

IgboSomalia: I'm not reasoning with emotions bro. You talk about agriculture. South east also export agriculture. They produce steal or so in Anambra it can be exported. What about those in Aba, it can be exported. If you're talking based on agricultural only. Kano and Kaduna will beats SE. But check the parameters the guy asked us to use. |

mamaafrik:It's a no brainer, Lagos-kano definitely. Rail is primarily for transporting cargo; passenger transportation is secondary. What sense does it make to transport cargo via rail from one coastal city to another when seaports in the other coastal cities can easily solve that? That's why the British built the Lagos-kano and PH-Maiduguri narrow gauge rail lines to link the seaports to the hinterlands, and not Lagos-Calabar which should come after linking the hinterlands first. This can only be a topic in a failed country like Nigeria where seaports in Warri, PH and Calabar don't function due to various stupid reasons. |
