About Lara
Lara is a public transit intelligence product from Road Preppers, an AI-focused mobility company in Lagos, Nigeria.

It is built for daily commuters navigating Lagos's mix of transport options.
The assistant understands both English and Pidgin. Road Preppers builds solutions that help people in developing and fragmented cities plan, commute and connect better on their trips. Lara appears in CcHUB's startup portfolio.
