The Sociéte Nigerienne de Transports de Voyageurs or SNTV (English: Nigerien Passenger Transport Company) is the Nigerien government owned bus and public transport company.
Contents
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. 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.
History
The SNTV was hived off from the older STNN in the mid-1960s. 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.
As of 2009, the United States government reports that SNTV " has experienced no known major accidents since 2001."
