A transportation mobility platform, Treepz, has partnered with CMS Taxi and Motor Nigeria Limited (CMS T&M) in Lagos to provide commuters with affordable means of transportation within cities across Africa.
The partnership will see the CMS T&M passengers have access to a more convenient payment option and predictable travel times.
The technology provided by Treepz will allow the CMS T&M management to manage their operations efficiently and digitise their ticketing systems to provide transparency for the bus operator.
CMS T&M is a 53-year-old licensed shuttle bus company that operates in the Central Business District of Lagos including Marina, Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Ikoyi and Lekki areas of Lagos State, with high-capacity buses and minivans.
With over 1.6 million passengers annually, CMS T&M provides conducive vehicles that ease the daily commute of workers, students, and traders within the city.
CEO and co-founder Treepz Inc, Mr. Onyeka Akumah said, “By combining the expertise and technologies of Treepz, with CMS T&M’s 42 years of experience in public transportation and fleet management, we are on the right path to achieving this goal.
“I am particularly excited about the payment method that will be introduced which is quite similar to the Oyster card system in London.
“This will greatly improve the experience of daily commuters in Lagos and kick-start the digitalization of transportation systems across Nigeria.”
Also speaking on the partnership, CMS T&M Managing Director Andrew Akhigbe said, “We are excited about our recent partnership with Treepz and can’t wait to power our CMS bus park using world-class technology with benefits accruing to both partners and commuters.
