## Why it matters

Putting a local bus service inside the map app people already use removes friction, and that is often what turns a good service into a habit.

## Story

Shuttlers, the Nigerian shared mobility startup, is now integrated with Google Maps Transit after completing more than 10 million journeys.

The practical effect is simple and useful. Riders can discover routes inside Google Maps, the app many already open when planning movement across a city.

Distribution like this can separate a service that works from one that becomes a habit. It meets commuters where they already are, instead of asking them to learn a separate system first.

For Lagos commuters in particular, anything that makes a reliable scheduled alternative easier to find is worth noticing.
