Travel between Nigerian states has a reputation for disregarding the time of travelers and being generally tardy and uncomfortable. TAPIS is changing the narrative by being right on time and providing travelers with the most comfortable trip ever with various comforting features.
Lagos, August, 1st, 2022 —Touch and Pay Technologies, the number one NFC & transport payments processor in Nigeria is officially announcing the launch of TAP Interstate (TAPIS).
This service allows commuters to board interstate buses at any of the designated BRT terminals at Yaba, Ojota & Ewu. TAPIS is a timely alternative for traveling interstate between Lagos – Abeokuta – Ibadan.
They say time is money and no one appreciates waiting for so long at the park for a full bus before leaving for their destination.
With TAPIS, the time of travelers is highly valued and they will no longer waste a minute waiting for a bus to get filled with passengers before embarking on the journey. The TAPIS team has strategically picked time schedules for the trips so everyone is included and catered for.
For a better experience and sweet deals, TAPIS has partnered with the Cowry transport app to enable travelers to prebook interstate trips and make payments right from the app.
Free Wi-Fi, charging ports on the bus, AC, life, and luggage in transit insurance, and timeliness are some of the fantastic features TAPIS has to offer travelers that chose its services.
Loading from Yaba, Ojota, and Ewu terminal (MM1A), TAPIS will be going from Lagos to Ibadan and Lagos to Abeokuta. Other terminals will be included as operations progress.
You can travel with TAPIS in two ways:

Speaking on the integration: Olamide Afolabi, Co-founder, and CEO of Touch and Pay Technologies said: “Payment is not a technology problem, it is a social problem, which is why innovations towards solving transport payment problems are inevitable.”
Time plays a significant role in our life. Time helps us make a good habit of structuring and organizing our daily activities and TAPIS ensures that everyone’s time is respected. The timeliness of TAPIS allows all travelers to do more with time saved which leads to more time freedom, helps travelers focus better, allows them to be more productive, lowers stress, and gives them more time to spend with the people that matter most
