Many Nigerians, like myself, enjoy the exquisite services rendered by the company. They are the pioneers of online booking of buses. Which is similar to booking a travel ticket to use the plane. Likewise, you can book a bus ticket online by visiting the official website (https:// gigm. com).

There exist another means to patronize Good is Good Motors; via the GIGM app. Some decades back, who would’ve thought that a transportation company in Nigeria would have a mobile app, definitely not me.

This disrupted the transportation industry on it’s arrival, and it was initially difficult to sell the use of mobile apps. However, it has become a daily saviour to lots of users.

When you board a GIGM bus for the first time, you’d notice that the bus is new, unlike some transportation companies. Good is Good Motors has a policy to sustain the use of new buses across all outlets in the country.

Or better still tear rubber buses, as some call it. For the few older buses, they are well maintained. So they appear decent overall. God is God Motors doesn’t stop there.

Additionally, they’ve partnered with some travel agencies in the country. As a result this collaboration, they are able to organise tours for anyone that would like to explore the country. Whether you are a tourist, or you just want your family to have a good time, they got you.

History of GIGM

God is Good Motors is the most popular transport company in Nigeria. The company started operations in 1998, and you know the rest. It’s been interesting to watch the growth from inception.

God is Good Motors was founded by Deacon Edwin Ajaere and his wife Mrs. Stella Ajaere. They company began operations in the ancient city of Benin, and the buses could only go to neighbouring cities.

When they started the company, it was run as a family business. That made the expansion process a bit slow, but the growth could easily be seen.

In the year 2009, the founder, Deacon Edwin Ajaere was assassinated. As a result, other members of his family had to cater for the business. Some months later, Chidi Ajaere, the first son of the deceased, assumed head of management.

He was based overseas, but had to return home shortly after the sad incident. Other members of the family were give key roles. Recently, the name of the company was changed to GIGM, with “GIGM.com” labelled in the company’s properties.

Since Chidi became the boss, he has been utilising progressive technologies to improve the services the company renders. You can see that in the adverts, mode of operation, and the complete rebranding.

Today, GIGM is a highly rated transport company, not only because of its services, but also because of the technology being used. God is Good Motors is indeed a household name when it comes to transportation business in Nigeria.

The head office of God is Good Motors is located in Benin city, Edo state. It has branches in the busiest cities in Nigeria. In some states, it has over 5 branches.

Traveling With God is Good Motors

In order to travel with GIGM, you will need to get a ticket from a bus park, or you can book online; via the website or on the mobile app. The app is sleek, you will have no troubles with navigation. As for the website – gigm.com, it has a responsive user interface.

GIGM treats their drivers differently, they refer to them as Captains. The drivers usually put on a uniform that suit the name. They have a speed limit of 110 km/hr. This is lower than the average speed limit of Nigerian transport companies.

Their buses also have functional AC’s, it’s usually not a case of “gas don finish” with them. Also, some of the buses have tinted windows, while others have blinds. Sun rays wouldn’t be a problem while you board with them. You would enjoy your journey, no matter how long it is.

Like its competitors, the drivers play cool music during rides. I don’t know if I’m the only one that likes to listen to music while traveling, but I guess not. Music usually help me relax, and that’s what you get with every patronage.

When they are not playing music, they play entertaining programs – clips from comedy shows, extracts, etc. In some buses, they have screens to watch the programs.

Tips to Enjoy Your Travel With GiGM Buses

Be Punctual

GiGM are strict with their rules. It is recommended that you check-in the right time. You have to get there before the bus leaves, because they’d hardly wait for a single passenger.

When you think you will be unable to make it, and would prefer to have the journey rescheduled, you would be charged N1,000 additional fee for the reschedule. After rescheduling a journey, you have to wait for an available bus, and check for the empty seats on the bus.

Modifying Seat Reservations

There situations where the company can modify your seats reservation when made in advance. Unforeseen circumstances may require that on the departure date seats be slightly modified if a different bus is used for rescheduling. Since the rescheduling is at a result of the company’s circumstances, it doesn’t attract extra charges.

Limit on luggage

There’s a limit on the amount of luggage a passenger can carry. For a guest/ticket, a person is entitled to a medium-sized luggage with the specification of 30”x22”x15. Any luggage above this specific is not accepted, that is is because the comfort of its passengers is the priority.

When you have a luggage that is far bigger than that, you have two options. You can either pay for an extra seat to store it, or use the logistics arm, GiG logistics, to convey your luggage.

Irrespective of the size of your luggage, it is recommended to use leather or fabric luggage when traveling as opposed to plastic ones. This is to make it easier to arrange it in the bus.

In order to avoid harassment or queries from the Nigeria Custom Service, God is Good Motors do not aid in conveying some food items, such as a bag of rice. While for other fragile items, users are advised to hold them. This includes; electronically appliances, laptop, tablets and television.

Highly volatile materials are also not accepted. You can not convey agrochemicals, building materials, gas cylinders (empty or not), generators, fuel in gallon, herbicides, pesticides, etc. While GiG logistics may convey some of these items with lower risk.

When you have a luggage on the bus, you have to keep a watchful eye. Items are stored at owners risk.

Pick Up Option

While requesting for a ride online, the pick-up option is usually highlighted. It is available for to only light travelers. When your luggage is not so big, you can request that you get picked from your home. If you are not present at home, or you do not come to the terminal, your ticket will be rendered void.

Children Discounts

GiGM offers amazing discounts for children. Some of us would want to be kids again, lol. There is a 50% slash on tickets that are purchased for children. However, there is a clause to this:

• The age range is between 2-10 years.
• The children would be in the company of an adult.
• An adult can travel with a maximum of three children.

On departure, the adult (or parent) will provide relevant identification documents to validate the child. When there’s no valid ID, the discount is withheld.

One adult is allowed to travel with a maximum of 3 children.

Forgotten or Misplaced Items

In GiGM terms and conditions, there is a clause that they won’t be held responsible for misplaced items. They are stored at owners’ risk. However, if a missing item is found, it will be available for pick up within 30 days. After 39 days, the item will be confiscated. For perishable goods, they will be disposed immediately.
