Nigerian mobility company Shuttlers has reached a major milestone, recording over 10 million completed trips as it marks ten years of operations focused on reshaping urban transportation across the country.
Launched in 2016, the platform has steadily expanded its footprint across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, building a structured commuting system for working professionals. It now serves more than 30,000 active users, operates across 1,000 plus routes, and runs a fleet of over 430 buses on a daily basis.
The company says the achievement reflects the growing need for dependable and affordable alternatives to the often unpredictable public transport system in fast expanding cities. Over the years, Shuttlers has maintained a 99 percent trip completion rate and a 99.94 percent record of incident free operations, figures it points to as evidence of consistency and reliability.
Co Founder and Chief Executive Officer Damilola Olokesusi described the milestone as the result of years of steady investment in systems and technology aimed at easing daily commuting challenges. She noted that many professionals still face stressful and costly travel experiences, adding that the company’s focus has been to create a more structured and predictable transport experience for both individuals and corporate users as well as the transport partners within its network.
Beyond its scale of operations, Shuttlers says its model has continued to deliver measurable value to commuters, including transport savings of up to 88 percent when compared with ride hailing services. Users also report gaining as much as 12 hours monthly due to reduced time spent in traffic.
With urban populations continuing to rise across African cities, the company believes its approach is helping to redefine how daily commuting is organised, offering a more efficient and coordinated system for modern city life.
Shuttlers also announced its integration into the Google Transit ecosystem in Nigeria, a move expected to improve route visibility and make commuter planning easier for users.
Olumide Balogun, Director for West Africa at Google, noted that the integration would help strengthen urban mobility planning, adding that better transit information allows commuters to navigate cities with greater ease and confidence as digital adoption continues to grow across the region.
