The train service has been a viable alternative for passengers as the Kaduna-Abuja expressway has been a den of kidnappers and armed robbers in recent times.
Passengers shuttling between Kaduna and Abuja have been using the train service despite a few hitches recorded like timing, ticket racketeering, slow movement and sometimes a halt in the operations.
