3 Ways Intercity is Making Travel Safer in Nigeria

blog details

Transportation is not a luxury. For most Nigerians, it’s a lifeline.

From students returning home from school, to traders on weekly supply runs, to parents visiting loved ones in other states, millions of us hit the roads daily. In fact, we estimate that over 5 million people engage in cross-city travel every day across Nigeria.

Yet beneath this constant movement lies a troubling reality: our transportation system remains plagued by uncertainty and safety concerns. Bus terminals often operate without standardized safety protocols. Payment systems remain largely informal and untraceable. And passengers frequently board vehicles with no knowledge of who’s driving them or the operator’s safety record.

But let’s be honest: every time we step out for a long trip, especially by road, there’s that quiet voice in our heads — “Will I be safe?”

At IntercityNG, we’re not just a platform for finding and booking interstate transport. We are obsessed with making travel safer — because we know what’s at stake.

Making a Difference

1. Safer Payments for Transport & Logistics

We understand the dilemma. You want to secure your spot early, but paying in advance feels risky. What if the bus doesn’t show up? What if your money disappears into thin air?

That’s why Intercity offers a trusted, verifiable, and flexible way to pay. Your bookings are traceable. Your money is protected. And if plans change? You have access to easy refunds and rescheduling options. This is how you pay safer, and travel smarter.

2. Know Your Driver — Literally

You’re about to trust a complete stranger with your life for 6 to 12 hours. Shouldn’t you at least know who’s behind the wheel?

We’re building Nigeria’s first verified intercity Driver Directory, where you can see real driver profiles, ratings, and reviews from past travelers. It’s simple: When you know your driver, you feel safer.

3. Know Your Operator — Reputation Matters

Who is the operator running your bus or handling your shipment? At Intercity, every transport operator on our platform is vetted, profiled, and reviewed. You can compare services, read real feedback, and choose based on track record, not guesswork.

You no longer have to rely on “my friend said” or “the man at the park recommended.” Now, you decide with data and trust.

Safety isn’t just a feature. It’s our promise.

At IntercityNG, we believe every Nigerian deserves to feel safe when they travel, no matter the destination, route, or budget.

And we’re just getting started.

Travel safer with Intercity.
