From passengers being crammed up like sardines in a never-ending stream of traffic congestion to having to fight for change with bus conductors, and having to come to terms with unbearable fish smells, so many unimaginable things occur in the molue. It’s no surprise, therefore, that more innovators are turning to technology to fix the traffic issues in Lagos. One tech-driven solution worthy of note is Plentywaka. PlentyWaka is a bus-hailing solution aimed at making public transportation more bearable and accessible to the Lagos populace. Since its launch in 2019, PlentyWaka has come a long way, having raised a $300,000 pre-seed funding round, completing 300,000 rides, and rolling out a B2C logistics platform, all in the same year.
