Commuting to work in Lagos has changed!!!
As professionals we either commute to work with our personal cars, public bus, BRT or cabs. We drive through hectic traffic, hustle to get into the bus, stand in the BRT, or pay a whole lot using a private cab. We go through the same hectic process five days a week and it’s taking a toll on our health, productivity, relationships and even our financies. Wouldn’t you agree?
How do we move from here?
Shuttlers is the first multi-staff bus/ride-sharing platform that offers an economical way to work for professionals in the Lagos metropolis. We help transform the stressful time commuting to and fro work into a productive, refreshing and relaxing experience.
Our goal is to help you commute to work and back home in the most comfortable, safe, fun and affordable way possible. Passengers shuttle in air conditioned 12-15 sitter buses.
Each route has been designed and customized to suit your commuting needs. The payment plan is restricted to only 10 working days (bi-weekly) payment plan and 20 working days (monthly) payment plan.
