You would want to arrive at the station at least thirty minutes before the set departure time. You&#8217;d also need to go along with a valid means of identification such as a driver&#8217;s license or work ID to buy a train ticket.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the counter, tender your valid ID to pay for your train ticket. The two times the train departs from Lagos to Ibadan are 8:00 am and 4:00 pm, both on weekdays and weekends.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you purchased a First Class train ticket to Ibadan, you&#8217;d ride in the 24-seater coaches while the 56 and 68-seater coaches are for Business Class passengers. A Standard train ticket will see you riding in one of the 88-seater coaches.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The time it takes to take a train from Lagos to Ibadan is approximately two hours and fifty minutes. When the train leaves the Mobolaji Johnson Station at 8:00 am (or 4:00 pm as the case may be), there would be a brief stopover some thirty minutes at the Babatunde Raji Fashola Station. The train would take off again a few minutes after, stopping briefly at Wole Soyinka Station in Abeokuta and Samuel Laduke Akintola Station in Omi-Adio, before the final stop at the Obafemi Awolowo Station in Moniya, Ibadan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;d find the train ride from Mobolaji Johnson Station to the Obafemi Awolowo Station to be quite comfortable. The coaches are air-conditioned so you may need some thick clothing if you cannot withstand cold for long periods. It is also important to let you know that there are no food services available to passengers in coach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the train finally arrives at the Obafemi Awolowo Station in Moniya, Ibadan, you can reach Ojoo main park in ten minutes, while it takes twenty minutes to reach Iwo road park (when there&#8217;s no traffic). From these parks, you can virtually find a cab to wherever you are going in Ibadan. Alternatively, you may use e-hailing services like Bolt and Uber to take you to your final destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>What&#8217;s the Current\u00a0 Schedule of Trips at the Lagos-Ibadan Train Service?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this section of this article, we will outline the present schedule of trips at the Lagos-Ibadan Train Service so you know how to plan your travel.
