During its third anniversary celebration, the company announced intentions to establish Business Treepz, a new service designed to provide structured, approachable, and consistent bus rental services to businesses, educational institutions, tour operators, and private individuals.
The transportation company began operations on September 16, 2019, when its e-hailing app went online in Lagos, Nigeria. Just a few weeks after receiving $1.2 million in early funding.
It rebranded from PlentyWaka to Treepz. As part of its expansion goals, it also bought Ghanaian Stabus at the same time, in September 2021.
