Fares are the same in both directions. Busy routes can cost up to 5 times the listed fare. Rush hour—6–9 AM and 4–8 PM game time—adds 1.5 times the fare. Pilots and cabin crew pay half price. International flights take twice as long as domestic flights.
Flights take 20 seconds to board and 32 seconds in the air, plus any cab ride time. International flights take twice as long.
Private jet
You need to own a luxury jet from Buy mode. It can be at home or in storage, in any city. The fare, including fuel and fees, is ₦3m for a small jet, ₦5m for a mid-sized jet and ₦9m for a large jet. If you own jets of more than one size, choose which one to fly. There’s no surge pricing. The trip takes 16 seconds, plus any cab time; international trips take twice as long.
Chopper
A chopper costs ₦20 trillion and flies from your city’s airport to any place in another available city. The trip takes 14 seconds, plus any cab ride to the helipad. You can’t fly to the airport you leave from.
Coach
Motor parks are at Jibowu in Lagos, Jabi in Abuja and Waterlines in Port Harcourt. Coaches run between these cities. Available companies include GIG Mobility, ABC Transport, Peace Mass Transit, Young Shall Grow, GUO, Chisco, Libra Motors, Efex Executive and Rivers Transport (RTC). Their fares change daily, between 95% and 115% of these route prices:
| Route | Usual fare |
|---|---|
| Lagos ⇄ Abuja | ₦22,000 |
| Lagos ⇄ Port Harcourt | ₦20,000 |
| Abuja ⇄ Port Harcourt | ₦21,000 |
The cheapest available coach is chosen first. You arrive at the other city’s motor park.
| Coach | Trip time on screen | Arrival |
|---|---|---|
| HiAce | 60 seconds | Tired and sweaty |
| Luxury coach | 70 seconds | “Cool Coach” mood |
| Night sleeper (player-owned bus) | 80 seconds | Rested, with “Slept on the Road” mood |
Night bus
The GIG door-to-door night bus costs ₦25,000, or ₦37,500 at rush hour. The trip takes about 3 hours in game time (60 seconds on screen). You arrive tired (energy −18) and sweaty (hygiene −16).
Driving
Driving your own car costs the fuel for a 440 km trip. Fuel costs double on a fuel-scarcity day. If your driver Sunday drives, you pay a ₦20,000 road allowance instead. The trip takes about 2½ hours in game time (48 seconds on screen), or a fifth longer if you leave at rush hour. You arrive tired. You can’t make the trip on a motorbike; switch cars in Phone → Cars.
After travelling by plane or another way that isn’t your own car, you can drive a car parked at your home in the city you arrive in. The arrival city must be available.
Travel insurance
Your phone remembers your choice. Insurance prevents losses but never pays money back.
| Travel type | Insurance cost |
|---|---|
| Flight | 6% of the fare, at least ₦5,000 |
| Jet | 5% of the fare |
| Chopper | 0.5% of the fare (₦100bn) |
| Coach or night bus | 10% of the fare, at least ₦1,000 |
| Drive | 8% of the fuel cost or allowance, at least ₦5,000 |
Without insurance, your bag can go missing:
| Travel type | Chance of losing a bag |
|---|---|
| Economy | 1 in 7 |
| Premium Economy | 1 in 9 |
| Business | 1 in 13 |
| First Class | 1 in 17 |
| Jet | 1 in 20 |
| Chopper | 1 in 17 |
| Bus | 1 in 8 |
Replacing a lost bag costs 30% of the fare, with a minimum of ₦10,000. Bus trips also have an 8% chance of pickpocketing, which takes 8% of your cash up to ₦300,000, and a 3% chance of an ₦80,000 accident bill.
Road trips have a 10% chance of a breakdown, an 8% chance of a flat tyre costing ₦25,000, and a 6% chance of a checkpoint fine costing ₦10,000. About 1 in 5 uninsured road trips has at least one of these problems.
Travelling together
You can invite your bae, family, close friends or people you’ve chatted with to travel with you by jet, chopper, airline or car. Each invitation lasts 2 minutes. Guests ride free in your jet, chopper or car. Airline guests buy their own seat. Jet and flight guests arrive with you and take a cab to the same place.
Tips
- Booking from home is fine: the ticket includes the cab to the airport, and the cab time is added to the boarding wait.
- To spend less, take the cheapest coach outside rush hour. Insurance for a ₦20,000 ticket is cheap.
- If the Book button is amber, tap it to see the option to fix what’s blocking your booking.
- After arriving in another city, check whether you have a car parked at your home there.
