LAMATA warns content creators against taking pictures, videos on blue, red line, others without approval

The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has warned content creators to stop filming or taking pictures in its public transportation infrastructure without permission.
The state’s transportation agency gave the warning in a statement shared on its official X handle on Monday.
It read, “The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) would like to clarify the process of creating content on our public transportation infrastructure, including the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Blue Line and other upcoming rail lines.”
It stated that, “To avoid confusion, creating videos or taking pictures for commercial purposes on our infrastructure is not permitted without prior approval.”
The statement explained that the approval will help “maintain order and ensure filming activities don’t disrupt operations or passenger safety.”
“Those interested in filming or taking photographs for commercial purposes on Lagos State’s public transportation system should seek approval from LAMATA,” it advised.
