Lagride, a mobility platform operating in Lagos, has launched Lagride Omni, a low-cost, air-conditioned shared-ride bus service. The company said the minibus service is designed for offices, churches, schools, and large groups.

“The Omni represents a major step forward in modernising group transportation across the city, offering a safer, cleaner, and more coordinated alternative to the traditional Korope minibuses that many Lagosians use every day,” Lagride said in a statement shared with Financial Nigeria. “Spacious, comfortable, and efficient, the Omni delivers a new kind of Lagos experience built on comfort, convenience, and community.”

Lagride said early adoption has shown strong interest from individual riders, who are choosing the Lagride Omni because of its lower cost compared to regular taxis and ride-hailing options. It added that many are also booking it for convenience and comfort, enjoying the air-conditioned space and the ability to move together with friends, family, or colleagues without spending more. 

Unlike regular buses that stop repeatedly to pick up and drop off passengers, the Lagride Omni service makes zero stops on a trip. Each ride is private and direct, whether booked by an individual or a group.

“Mobility is one of the greatest drivers of opportunity,” said Diana Chen, Chairman of Lagride. “By making modern transport affordable and accessible to every segment of society, Lagride is helping to build a more connected Lagos where movement creates meaning and community thrives.”

The Lagride Omni vehicles are GPS-enabled and operated by trained drivers certified through the Lagride Academy. Each has space for up to six passengers.

Lagride said it is recruiting 1,000 new manual drivers to join the Omni fleet, adding that every driver will receive professional training and certification through the Lagride Academy, established in partnership with the Lagos State Government, LASTMA, and other transport-safety stakeholders.
