ABC Transport Acquires New Buses For New Routes


The Management  of ABC Transport Plc has acquired 15 new buses for its Sprinter Service operations, as part of its plan to refocus the service and bring it much closer to customers in major locations. This plan was also informed by the increasing demands for the service in other parts of the country, where ABC Transport has not been operating initially.
Sprinter Service is designed to satisfy the needs of light travellers: passengers who like to travel with little or no luggage, who would rather travel smart on fully air-conditioned 14-seater buses.

With its compact yet portable size, the normal ABC Sprinter Service bus is best suited to operate in challenging road conditions and finding a way through tricky hold-ups to the benefit of its passengers who might not have to entertain much anxiety or fears of finding themselves stuck or stalled in traffic for too long. Moreover, the Sprinter Service operates scheduled departures, thereby offering passengers early arrivals to their destinations.


Unlike the typical mini buses deployed by some road transport operators, the ones used by ABC Sprinter Service carry 14 passengers only and boast of more legroom. Keeping in line with the company unrivalled safety policy, only three persons are allowed to sit on a row on the Sprinter buses no cramping of passengers, excess luggage.

This is aimed at enhancing comfort of passengers while in transit. In addition, Sprinter Service buses are equipped with speed governors enabling the drivers to avoid over-speeding, based on the strict safety standards for which ABC Transport is known.

Although ABC Sprinter Service has mainly operated in Lagos, Abuja, Owerri, Calabar, Uyo and Port Harcourt, its services will now be available in most of the ABC terminals across the country. With the injection of the 15 new buses into the existing fleet, Sprinter Service will henceforth service customers in Enugu, Onitsha, Jos, Kaduna, Ikorodu, Onitsha, Gwagwalada, Aba, Awka, Ibadan, Umuahia, Lokoja, and Orlu. Plans are underway to set up new outlets in Port Harcourt and Enugu, to bring Sprinter Service much closer to customers living in those cities.

On ABC Corpers Rebate, National Youth Service Corps members are entitled to a N500 discount on fare every time they travel with the Sprinter Service.
Still expanding its fleet size, ABC Shuttle Service, a short distance fully air-conditioned intercity service, will be taking delivery of ten 10 new buses. This is to enable the service meet the surge in traffic anticipated during the peak operations in December. ABC Shuttle Service mainly operates in Owerri, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Enugu, Awka, Onitsha, Umuahia, Uyo and Warri.
