Lagride, the government backed e-taxi platform for Lagos, has expanded rider choice inside the app and confirmed preparations for the release of Lagride Omni, a mini bus category designed for families, groups and everyday commuters. The announcement reinforces Lagride’s vision of providing Nigeria’s most comprehensive mobility platform with options that serve every need, every budget and every Lagosian.
Expanded Choices Inside the App
Riders opening the Lagride app today will see three clear choices available:
Lagride EVs – Eco-friendly electric vehicles that deliver cleaner, quieter and cost-efficient trips. They represent Lagos’ future of sustainable transport.
Lagride Pro – Brand-new cars operated by professionally trained Captains who have undergone world-class service, safety and hospitality training at the Lagride Academy. Pro represents the premium benchmark for safety, comfort and excellence.
Lagride Legacy – Verified, owner-driven cars from 2022 and above that continue to provide affordable, reliable everyday rides for Lagosians who want trusted value.
This multi-category approach means riders can match the right car to the right moment: an EV for eco-conscious travel, Pro for a business meeting or special outing, and Legacy for everyday mobility.
Omni is Next: More Space, More Value
The Lagride Omni mini bus will become the fourth option on the platform. Spacious enough to seat six passengers plus luggage, Omni is specifically designed for families, school runs, office commutes, weekend trips and social outings.
Omni addresses some of the biggest challenges of urban mobility in Lagos:
Party Ride – One car that fits all friends, creating a better atmosphere at a lower per-person cost than multiple vehicles.
Last-Mile Commute – 3–4 colleagues sharing a ride directly from the bus stop to the office, saving time and money while reducing congestion.
Safe School Runs – Parents booking fixed, daily trips for children with the reassurance of real-time app tracking and certified Captains.
By combining space, safety, affordability and dignity, Omni promises to be a game-changer for groups of three or more.
Supporting Lagosians During the Rains
With heavy rains and flooding disrupting city movement, Lagride is stepping forward to support Lagosians with a 40% discount promotion.
The offer runs from 24 September to 13 October 2025.
Eligible riders can check if they qualify by clicking on the Coupons section in the Lagride app.
This promotion is part of Lagride’s wider commitment to easing the burden of mobility during challenging times.
Voices from Lagride
Chief Diana Chen, Chairman, CIG Group and Lagride;
“Mobility is at the heart of Lagos life, and it is at the heart of society. When people move safely, affordably and with dignity, families flourish, businesses thrive, and communities feel stronger. Lagride is not just a transport platform, it is a social contract to move Lagos better.
By expanding choices in the app today, we are giving Lagosians more power to decide how they travel. With Omni launching soon, we are addressing group needs in ways no platform has done before. And by offering a 40% discount during the rains, we are showing empathy and responsibility at a time when the city needs it most.”
Jubril Arogundade, Acting MD, Lagride;
“Choice matters. Lagos is a city of different needs and different rhythms. That is why Lagride now offers EVs for cleaner trips, Pro for premium experiences, and Legacy for everyday mobility. Omni will soon join as the perfect option for families, colleagues and groups of friends.
Every step we take is designed to support the governor’s mobility agenda, to empower drivers with world-class training, and to make riders proud of the service they choose. This is how we are building Nigeria’s most comprehensive e-taxi platform.”
Training, Standards and Opportunities
Lagride is equally focused on empowering its Captains. All Pro and EV drivers undergo rigorous training at the Lagride Academy, delivered in partnership with the Nigerian Police, FRSC, LASTMA and other regulatory bodies. The Academy also includes hospitality training modules, ensuring drivers deliver service that meets international standards and transferable skills they can use anywhere in the world.
In addition, Lagride is actively recruiting 10,000 new drivers and partners under its Drive-to-Own and Drive-to-Earn schemes, giving Lagosians the opportunity to build sustainable livelihoods through the platform.
