About Taxibrousse Madagascar
Founded in 2010, Taxibrousse Madagascar has become the reference for intercity transport in Madagascar. Our story begins with a simple but ambitious vision: to make travel across our beautiful island safer, more comfortable, and accessible to all Malagasy people.
With a fleet of over 150 modern vehicles maintained daily, we now serve more than 50 destinations across Madagascar. From the capital Antananarivo to the paradise beaches of Nosy Be, from the Highlands to the sunny southern coasts, our network covers the entire national territory.
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in every aspect of our service. We continuously invest in driver training, vehicle improvements, and technological innovation. Our online booking platform, launched in 2018, revolutionized the industry by allowing travelers to book and pay for their tickets from their smartphones.
The safety of our passengers is our absolute priority. All our vehicles undergo rigorous technical inspections before each departure. Our drivers are carefully selected, trained to international road safety standards, and regularly evaluated. We are proud to have one of the lowest accident rates in the industry.
Beyond transport, Taxibrousse is committed to sustainable development. We have launched several ecological initiatives: fleet renewal with Euro 4 compliant vehicles, carbon offset program in partnership with local NGOs, and eco-driving training for drivers to reduce our environmental footprint.
Every year, we safely transport over 600,000 passengers to their destinations. These figures reflect the trust that Malagasy people place in us every day. But beyond statistics, it is the smiles of our passengers upon arrival, reunited families, and satisfied travelers that give full meaning to our mission.
