Shuttlers Launches Affordable Door-to-Door Car Service

Shuttlers, a technology-enabled shared mobility platform, has expanded its services by launching Shuttlers Pod, a door-to-door car service that offers scheduled rides for commuters. This service replaces traditional bus stops with door-to-door pickups and drop-offs, allowing commuters to book shared rides from their doorstep to their destination.

Each trip is conducted by a named driver, referred to as a Pilot, and features a fixed fare with guaranteed pickups, eliminating surge pricing. The service is designed to be affordable, costing approximately 50% less than typical ride-hailing fares due to its advance-booking and fixed-pricing model.

Damilola Olokesusi, CEO and Co-Founder of Shuttlers, emphasized the importance of shared mobility in light of Nigeria's rising cost of living. Shuttlers currently operates over 430 buses daily across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, serving more than 600,000 monthly trips and maintaining a 99% trip completion rate since its inception in 2016.
