Lagos’ leading smart mobility platform has launched the Lagride Omni, described as a “low-cost, air-conditioned shared-ride service designed for offices, churches, schools, and large groups”.
City Business News reports that the Omni is being positioned as a more coordinated alternative to the traditional Korope minibuses that many Lagosians use every day.
“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. “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 makes zero stops.
“Each ride is private and direct, whether booked by an individual or a group on the Lagide app, and it still comes at an unbeatable price”, said promoters of the new Omni.
Speaking at the launch, Chief Diana Chen, Chairman of Lagride, described the Omni as a significant leap forward in the company’s mission to democratise mobility in Africa’s largest city.
“Mobility is one of the greatest drivers of opportunity,” she said.
“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 blends comfort, technology, and affordability in one seamless experience. Each vehicle is fully air-conditioned, GPS-enabled, and operated by trained drivers certified through the Lagride Academy, which ensures top safety and customer-service standards. With space for up to six passengers, the Omni offers coordinated group rides that are reliable, comfortable, and cost-effective.
According to Mr Jubril Arogundade, Acting Managing Director of Lagride, the Omni was designed to meet the real needs of Lagosians who move together daily.
“With the Lagride Omni, one person can make a single booking and everyone joins the same ride,” he explained. “From offices to churches and community events, this is how Lagos will move together safely, conveniently, and in comfort.”
