One of the major challenges facing Nigerians, especially residents in Lagos, a key commercial hub, is transportation. Both the government and players in the private sector are making efforts to ameliorate the difficulties, but such interventions are not enough. To add impetus in the sector, therefore, is the latest entry of Bossbus, a foremost provider of transport technology solutions in Africa.
The young firm has entered the business to solve the problem of commuting by providing commuters the opportunity to book vehicles through the Bossbus platform to their destinations anywhere in the country, except north east of Nigeria for now.
The management said its mission is to provide a secure, reliable and affordable transportation experience to the users, while simultaneously providing them with a convenient transport ecosystem.
Explaining the launching of the platform, Chief Executive of the firm, Oluwatobi Fakayode said Bossbus is at the forefront of transforming the transport and technology industry with its integrated charter services, ride-hailing or fleet optimization program that provides safe, reliable, affordable and comfortable commuting experiences for its many customers.
