After moving more than 10 million passengers across Nigeria’s busiest cities over the past decade, mobility technology company Shuttlers is betting that digital transit platforms could become a key solution to the country’s worsening urban transportation crisis.
This is even as the Lagos-based company on Monday announced its integration into Google Maps Transit, allowing commuters to discover Shuttlers’ routes and book seats directly through Google Maps, a move that could significantly expand access to organised shared transportation for thousands of daily commuters.
The milestone comes as African cities face mounting pressure from rapid urbanisation, inadequate transport infrastructure and worsening traffic congestion, challenges that continue to affect productivity and economic growth.
For Shuttlers, the combination of reaching 10 million completed journeys and securing a place within Google’s transit ecosystem signals growing confidence in technology-enabled shared mobility as an alternative to unreliable public transport and expensive ride-hailing services.
