GIGM Bus Pricelist 2025: Online Booking, Terminals & Everything You Need to Know

If you travel by road in Nigeria, you know the name “God is Good.”

Rebranded as GIGM (GIG Mobility), this company has arguably done more to modernise Nigerian road travel than any other operator. From their air-conditioned “Sprinter” buses to a mobile app that actually works (most of the time), they have set a standard that others are scrambling to catch up with.

But let’s be real, the economic reality of 2025, with petrol prices doing cartwheels, has changed the game. A trip that cost ₦15,000 a year ago might now set you back significantly more.

In this guide, we’re cutting through the noise. We’ll look at the current GIGM price list for 2025, how to snag a seat without leaving your bed, and what you should realistically expect when you board that bus.

GIGM Bus Price List 2025 (Major Routes)

Note to Travellers: Prices in the Nigerian transport sector are currently extremely volatile due to fluctuating fuel costs. The prices below are estimates based on the latest counter rates and app listings as of late 2024/early 2025.

How to Book GIGM Tickets Online (2025 Guide)

Gone are the days of waking up at 4:00 AM just to queue at the park. GIGM’s “tech-first” approach means you can secure your seat from your phone.

Method 1: The GIGM Mobile App (Recommended)

The app is usually smoother than the mobile site and allows you to see seat arrangements.

1. Download: Get “GIG Mobility” from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
2. Register: Sign up with your phone number and email.
3. Search: Enter your “Departure Terminal” (e.g., Iyana Ipaja) and “Destination” (e.g., Abuja).
4. Select Bus: You will see a list of buses with departure times (e.g., 6:00 AM, 7:30 AM) and prices.
   • Note: The ‘Prime’ buses are usually newer Mercedes Sprinters, while ‘Classic’ or smaller buses might be Toyota Hiaces.
5. Choose Seat: This is the best feature. You can pick a window seat or avoid the back row (which can be bumpy).
6. Pay: Use your debit card or the GIGM in-app wallet.

Method 2: The “Pick-up Service”

This is a game-changer for anyone living far from a major terminal. Instead of going all the way to Jibowu or Utako, you can request a pick-up at designated spots along the bus route.

• How to use: On the app, look for the “Pick-up” option during booking.
• Caveat: Be there early. The bus will not wait more than 2–5 minutes for you at a pick-up point.

The “Journalist’s Verdict”: What is the GIGM Experience Really Like in 2025?

Writing this isn’t just about listing prices; it’s about your experience. Based on recent traveller feedback and industry observation, here is the current state of affairs with GIGM.

The Good

• The Fleet: GIGM still maintains one of the youngest fleets in Nigeria. Their Mercedes-Benz Sprinters (Jet Movers) are generally clean, have ACs that actually cool, and often come with charging ports for your phone.
• No “Lapping”: Unlike roadside parks, your seat is your seat. There is no overcrowding.
• Tracking: The GIGM app allows for trip tracking. You can share your trip details with a family member, who can monitor your movement in real-time, a massive safety plus.

The Challenges (Real Talk)

• App Glitches: Recent reviews from late 2024 indicate that the app can sometimes be buggy during payment processing. If your payment hangs, do not try again immediately. Check your bank app first to see if money has been left in your account.
• Delays: While better than most, the “6:00 AM” departure is sometimes “6:30 AM” or “6:45 AM” depending on passenger turnout or logistics.
• Price Surges: The dynamic pricing can be frustrating. A ticket you saw for ₦35,000 on Tuesday might be ₦42,000 on Friday.

Safety Note

In light of security concerns on Nigerian highways (particularly the Kogi axis and East-West road), GIGM has reportedly increased communication with security agencies. However, night travel is heavily discouraged. Always book the earliest bus (6:00 AM – 7:00 AM) to ensure you arrive at your destination before dusk.

Customer Care Contacts

If you have issues with a booking or a missing item (logistics), reach out to them directly.

• Phone: 0813 985 1110 (Customer Care Line)
• Email: contact@gigm.com
• Twitter (X): @GIGMobility (They are quite active here for complaints).

Conclusion

GIGM remains a top-tier choice for interstate travel in Nigeria, primarily because it brings a level of sanity and organisation to a chaotic industry. Yes, they are pricier than the average “sole proprietor” bus at the park, but for the AC, the legroom, and the safety of a tracked vehicle, most Nigerian professionals find the premium worth it.

If you are planning a trip soon, my advice is simple: Book via the app at least 3 days early, pack light to avoid extra luggage charges, and always choose the morning bus.
