Government-backed e-taxi platform, Lagride, has introduced more ride options for its app users and plans to the introduction of a new mini bus service called Lagride Omni, developed for families, groups and daily commuters.
In a statement from the auto firm, it was disclosed that this move is part of plans to make movement around Lagos easier for customers and give people a variety of choices that work well with their needs and budget.
Lagride noted that its Omni mini buses would be able to comfortably convey six passengers with extra space for luggage.
“Choice matters. Lagos is a city of different needs and different rhythms. That is why Lagride now offers EVs for cleaner trips, pro for premium experiences, and legacy for everyday mobility.
“Omni will soon join as the perfect option for families, colleagues and groups of friends. Every step we take is designed to support the governor’s mobility agenda, to empower drivers with world-class training, and to make riders proud of the services they choose.
“This is how we are building Nigeria’s most comprehensive e-taxi platform,” the acting Managing Director of Lagride Mr Jubril Arogundade, said.
On his part, the chairman of CIG Group and Lagride, Mr Diana Chen, said, “Mobility is at the heart of Lagos life, and it is at the heart of society.
“When people move safely, affordably and with dignity, families flourish, businesses thrive, and communities feel stronger.
“Lagride is not just a transport platform; it is a social contract to move Lagos better. By expanding choices in the app today, we are giving Lagosians more power to decide how they travel with Omni launching soon, we are addressing group needs in ways no platform has done it before and by offering a 40 per cent discount during the rains, we are showing empathy and responsibility at a time when the city needs it most.”
