Shuttlers Integrates with Google Maps Transit in Nigeria

Nigerian mobility startup Shuttlers has announced its official integration into the Google Maps Transit system, marking a significant expansion for both companies. The partnership allows users searching for transit directions on Google Maps to view and book Shuttler routes directly within the app.

Reaching 10 Million Journey Milestone

The integration announcement comes as Shuttlers celebrates completing its 10 millionth journey, demonstrating substantial growth since its founding in 2016. The company now serves over 11,000 daily riders with a fleet of more than 430 buses operating across Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt.

Transforming Urban Mobility

Shuttlers provides technology-enabled shared mobility solutions for professionals, including commuter routes, corporate employee transport, vehicle rentals, and partnerships with fleet operators. The company aims to transform how people move through African cities by offering more reliable and affordable transportation options.

“We are incredibly proud of our integration into the Google Maps Transit system,” said Shuttlers CEO Damilola Olokesusi. “For millions of professionals, commuting remains unpredictable and expensive. We’ve spent years building technology that makes daily transportation more dependable for commuters, businesses, and fleet operators.”

Google’s Director for West Africa, Olumide Balogun, welcomed Shuttlers to the Transit ecosystem, noting that reliable transit information helps people navigate cities more confidently and efficiently. The integration reflects Google’s commitment to supporting digital mobility solutions in Nigeria as adoption continues to grow.

Shuttlers underwent a rigorous process to align its data architecture and operational capabilities with Google’s partner requirements before being approved for the integration.
