  • Business class tickets are ₦6500 for both children and adults.
  • First-class tickets are ₦9000 for both children and adults.
  • Standard tickets are ₦3000 for children and ₦3600 for adults.
  • Keep your transaction emails or messages secure for presentation/verification at the train station.
  • You can book both morning and evening trips.

On-the-Ground Experience:

While the introduction of the e-ticketing platform has streamlined the process, payment at the train station is still a part of the experience.

Notably, cash payments are no longer accepted, and transactions can only be made through bank transfers or using your ATM card.

Accessing the E-ticketing Platform:

  1. Visit the Website: Start your journey by accessing the official e-ticketing platform at www.nrc.gsds.ng. Ensure you are on the correct website to avoid scams.
  2. Registration: Passengers need to register on the platform using their National Identification Numbers (NIN) for security and identification purposes.

Booking Your Online Lagos, Ibadan, or Abeokuta Train Ticket:

  1. Sign In: After successful registration, sign in to the platform using your email address and password, granting you access to the booking system.
  2. Select Your Journey: Choose your departure and arrival stations, and decide whether you want a one-way or round-trip ticket.
  3. Provide Passenger Details: Enter necessary passenger information, including names, contact details, and any other required information.
  4. NIN Requirement: It’s crucial to note that your NIN is required during the booking process.
  5. Select Train and Seats: Pick your desired train and seat(s) based on availability and preferences.
  6. Payment: Once you’ve made your selections, proceed to payment. The website will redirect you to a Flutterwave payment portal, where you can use your debit card to complete the transaction.

Final Thoughts on Booking Train Tickets Online for Lagos, Ibadan:

Exercise caution while using the e-ticketing platform to avoid falling victim to fraudulent activities. Be aware that fraudsters may attempt to use fake or cloned NRC websites. The official website for booking train tickets is https://nrc.gsds.ng.
