If you own a car and commute to Victoria Island daily, you're paying for an asset that could be paying you back.
At today's pump prices, a Toyota Camry owner commuting from Lekki Phase 1 to VI spends roughly ₦3,000–₦4,500 a day in fuel. Add ₦1,000–₦1,500 for parking on VI. That's ₦4,000–₦6,000 walking out of your pocket every single workday — ₦88,000–₦132,000 a month just to get to the office and back.
Now fill the empty seats with two or three verified riders from your route.
What Ganusii can fill in your car — seats that ride empty on every solo run to VI Riders on your route would rather share them than pay for a whole car
The driver model — the actual maths
There's no set Ganusii fare during the pilot. You name your ask for a seat; each rider says what they'd pay. Ganusii shows today's solo Bolt or Uber fare for the same trip as the guide, keeping offers in a fair range so nobody overpays or undercharges. Riders pay you directly.
Here's what the trip costs you today, before anyone shares it:
| Item | Daily | Monthly (22 days) |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel, Lekki Phase 1 ↔ VI (today's pump price) | –₦4,000 | –₦88,000 |
| Parking on VI (today's rates) | –₦1,200 | –₦26,400 |
| Your running cost, driving alone | –₦5,200 | –₦114,400 |
| Riders' share, morning and evening | Agreed with each rider, guided by today's solo fare | |
Split three or four ways, that cost gets much lighter: morning and evening, your riders' share goes towards fuel and parking you pay anyway. How much it covers depends on what you agree. Not a second job. Not going out of your way. Just filling seats in a car that would have been empty.
Pickups follow the road you already drive. On Lekki/Ajah → VI: Sangotedo, Ajah, Ikota, VGC, Chevron, Agungi, Jakande, Ikate/Elegushi, Lekki Phase 1, then VI — no doubling back.
This is not Uber. This is not Bolt.
Ganusii drivers are not commercial drivers. There is no algorithm that sends you to the wrong part of Lagos. There is no rating system designed to make you feel like a service worker. There is no surge pricing: the fare is agreed before anyone gets in.
Ganusii matches you with verified professionals who live along your route and leave around your time. Expect familiar faces, but nobody is locked in: every ride is confirmed ahead on WhatsApp: morning rides the evening before, rides home by 2pm on the day. If a rider can't make a morning or evening ride, Ganusii offers the seat to someone else on the route; if you can't, it tells everyone who is riding.
This is a shared commute, not a cab service. The distinction matters for how you think about it — and how your passengers think about you. You are a professional who happens to be going to the same place, choosing to share the car. Lagos professionals understand and respect that framing.
Who should register their car
- You own a Toyota Camry, Corolla, Honda Accord, Hyundai Elantra, or similar 4-door sedan in good condition
- You drive to Victoria Island, Ikoyi or Marina most weekdays
- You set off from Lekki/Ajah, Sangotedo, Ikeja, Yaba, Surulere or along Ikorodu Road, and your morning and evening trips fall between 5am and 10pm
- You want riders to share what your commute costs, without adjusting your schedule
- You want to ride with verified professionals, not random passengers
The verification process
Drivers are verified more strictly than riders. Before you're matched with any passengers:
- Driver’s licence and government ID — your identity is confirmed
- Vehicle details — make, model, year, plate number
- Work email — confirms you're a Lagos professional, not a commercial driver
- Live photo — your passengers know who to look for before they get in
This protects you as much as your riders. You'll know who is getting into your car: their first name, their number, and that they've passed the same kind of checks.
When rides start, you and your riders will be able to message HELP to Simbi, Ganusii's WhatsApp assistant, to report a safety concern or a car or trip problem; the team watches HELP from 5am to 10pm, while rides run. Ganusii is not an emergency service: in an emergency, call 112 or 767 first.
