The Purple Line is planned to run for 48km from the Lagos State University (LASU) to Redeem in Ogun State via Igando, Egbeda, Iyana Ipaja, Agege, Ogba, Berger and Mowe/Ibafo.

The study focused on the identification of feasible modes to operate the MRT line, based on the physical characteristics of the corridor and projected demand, and an assessment of the economic benefits and financial feasibility of the scheme. FAO Consulting tasks also included analysis of the potential MRT patronage, a review of alternative MRT technologies and economic and financial evaluation of the proposals. In addition, the terms of reference for a bankable feasibility study were developed as well.
