Lagos Ride is a smart mobility solution that allows users to book and share the cost of a ride from their preferred pickup to drop-off locations respectively. It will link users up based on their preferred pick and drop-off points, each not more than 1km apart respectively, and a pick-up time not more than 5 minutes apart. We believe this service will contribute to a reduction in traffic congestion in Lagos as it will encourage ridesharing and therefore reduce the frequency of single-occupancy driving.
