The Société Nigérienne de Transports de Voyageurs or SNTV (English: Nigerien Passenger Transport Company) is the Nigerien government owned bus and public transport company.[1]

Operation[]

The SNTV operates an inter-city and limited international coach system, as well as the "Gare Routieres" or "Autogares": Coach, truck, and taxi stations found in most Nigerien cities.[2] In a nation with no rail system and low automobile ownership, SNTV and private coaches, buses, and taxis are the primary means of intracity travel for most Nigeriens.[3]

History[]

The SNTV was hived off from the older STNN in the mid-1960s.[1] The STNN since focuses on commercial cargo haulage, but the SNTV still maintains a package service, while the STNN transport passengers in some more remote routes.[3]

As of 2009, the United States government reports that SNTV "has experienced no known major accidents since 2001."[4]
