Waitlist open · Ikoyi drop-offs being set up

Carpool from Ajah to Ikoyi

Along the Lekki–Epe Expressway and over the Lekki–Ikoyi Link Bridge, with verified professionals heading to Ikoyi. The waitlist is open: pickups will use the first route’s named points, and Ikoyi drop-offs are being set up.

Ajah to Ikoyi

via the Lekki–Ikoyi Link Bridge

The road: the expressway, then the Link Bridge

Ajah to Ikoyi shares most of its road with the Lekki to VI run: the same expressway, the same jams at Ajah and Chevron. The difference comes at Lekki Phase 1, where the car turns off for the Lekki–Ikoyi Link Bridge instead of going on to Ozumba Mbadiwe. Over the bridge you’re in Ikoyi, for offices around Bourdillon Road, Awolowo Road, Alfred Rewane Road and Falomo.

The pickup points are already named, because they’re the first route’s. What an Ikoyi carpool needs is enough people heading to Ikoyi at the same time.

Nine pickup points, in road order

The same Ganusii points as the Lekki / Ajah line, from Ajah to the Link Bridge. Starting from Sangotedo? The Novare Mall gate works for Ikoyi too.

Morning and evening times

Morning pickups are planned for 6:00 to 7:15 am, from Ajah through to Lekki Phase 1. Heading home, cars will leave Ikoyi between 5:00 and 7:00 pm and drop off along the expressway in road order. You choose the time you usually leave when you join, and rides will only run between 5:00 am and 10:00 pm.

We’ll add typical journey times to Ikoyi once the first drivers have timed it.

Every ride will be confirmed ahead: morning rides the evening before, rides home by 4:30 pm on the day. If someone can’t make it, Simbi, Ganusii’s WhatsApp assistant, will offer the seat to someone else on the route or tell everyone who is riding.

Being checked

We’re checking what a solo Bolt or Uber from Ajah to Ikoyi costs on a weekday morning, and will post the range here with the month.

Until then, price your own trip in Bolt or Uber at the time you usually leave. That’s the same guide Ganusii will show when you and your driver agree a fare.

How the fare is agreed

There’s no set Ganusii price during the pilot. Today’s solo ride-hail fare for the same trip is the guide. How fares work

  1. Your offer

    What you’d pay for a seat, one way.

  2. Your driver’s ask

    What they’d accept for a seat, one way.

  3. Agreed fare

    Everyone in the car pays the same, directly to the driver after each ride.

Verified people, and HELP on every ride

In an emergency, call 112 or 767 (Lagos emergency) first. Ganusii is not an emergency service. When you can, message HELP so the team knows.

Everyone will show a government-issued ID, take a live photo and confirm a work email before they ride; drivers also share their licence and vehicle details. When rides start, you can message HELP on any ride to report a safety concern or a car or trip issue, and the Ganusii team watches HELP from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm. Trust and safety in full
