September 28, 2026, Lagos, Nigeria. inDrive, a global mobility and delivery services platform, has launched its tricycle service, Keke, in Nigeria, expanding its fair-price model to three-wheelers and offering commuters a more affordable option for shorter trips.
The new service is a response to the growing demand for accessible and safe transportation, particularly among commuters travelling shorter distances. Designed for trips within an estimated 6–7 kilometre radius, the keke option offers a lower-cost alternative for completing shorter journeys.
