Nigerian shared mobility platform Shuttlers has surpassed 10 million completed journeys, marking a major milestone in its decade-long effort to improve urban commuting across the country.
Founded in 2016, the company has built a structured transportation network serving professionals across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt. Today, Shuttlers supports more than 30,000 active users across over 1,000 routes, with more than 430 buses operating daily.
The milestone highlights the increasing demand for reliable and cost-effective alternatives to fragmented public transport systems in rapidly growing African cities. Shuttlers reports a 99% trip completion rate and a 99.94% incident-free record across its operations.
“We are incredibly proud of hitting 10 million journeys since launch,” said Damilola Olokesusi, CEO and Co-Founder of Shuttlers. “For millions of professionals, commuting is still unpredictable, exhausting and expensive. We have spent the last 10 years building technology and operational infrastructure that makes daily transportation more dependable – for commuters, businesses that employ them, and the fleet operators who power our network.”
Beyond scale, Shuttlers says its model delivers tangible benefits to users, including transport cost savings of up to 88% compared to ride-hailing services and time savings of up to 12 hours per month.
As urban populations continue to expand, the milestone positions Shuttlers as a key player in shaping more structured, efficient mobility systems across Africa’s cities.
Since launching in 2016, the platform has maintained a 99% trip completion rate and a 99.94% incident-free rate across its entire journey history. The average Shuttlers commuter saves 60% to 88% on transport costs compared to ride-hailing services, and reclaims 8 to 12 hours from gridlock every month. Shuttlers today also announced it had joined the Google Transit ecosystem in Nigeria.
Olumide Balogun, Director for West Africa at Google, said: “We are pleased to welcome Shuttlers into the Google Transit ecosystem in Nigeria. Reliable transit information helps people navigate cities more confidently and efficiently. As more Nigerians adopt digital tools for everyday mobility, integrations like these help make trusted transportation easier to discover and access.”
