Some people bcc are thinking of how to make nigeria a better place to live while some are thinking of how to make it their personal estate, God punish them.
God bless this man..

I really commend this. I applaud the act. I always feel happy when people make effort to equip others financially.
God bless him.

PMT should find out why God Is Good drivers drive better and safer even when they have no economic stake in the bus. It is because GIGM employs educated and trainable drivers unlike peace motors that employ inconsiderate illiterate Agberoes, kai-kai drinkers and smokers as drivers.

The Driver to Owner scheme won't change anything. Even Agbero owners of Danfo buses drive their buses recklessly. You won't still catch me anywhere near a PMT bus.

Kai I hope these bus replace the rubbish danfo buses on our road Pls karma do something

Whatever the hype, I will NEVER board PMT to anywhere. Unless I have no other choice. If you know, you know.

I still prefer Agofure, I entered from Lagos to warri, though is was 8 hours because of traffic and bad roads, but the driver is a perfect one . you can just sleep no shaking

JubrinElSudan:
Hope this won't make them to drive rough and faster in order to meet target and own the bus. We Nigerians must always find a way to try destroying a system no matter how laudable it is

exactly my mind.
they'll drive with excess speed so as to meet up target.
this will spell doom.
thank God I've not been patronising them tho

PMT doesn't go to warri.

Beremx:
Nice one.


I have noticed for some years now that almost 80percent of IMO TRAVELS AND TOURS drivers are yorubas.


Why is that?

why are 80% of drivers driving to the North Igbos?

seanfer:
PMT drivers that are so rude and always over speeding when they were not on target will become worse now that they have to pay for their buses. I wish those who board them safe journey. But for me it’s a NO with the experiences I had between PH and Enugu with PMT.

I had 3 terrible experience with them and since then I say I no do again.

Peace Mass Transit (PMT) Limited, has unveiled a unique staff welfare package that transforms its bus drivers to owners of such vehicles in record time.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company, Dr. Sam Maduka Onyishi, is optimistic the new policy will bring about a better safety record and in addition, give drivers an assured sense of belonging and responsibility to handle vehicles in their possession with more care.

The policy comes into effect Monday, July 1, 2019. It is the first of such innovation in the transport industry in Nigeria and code-named Driver-To-Owner (DTO) Scheme

It is on record that PMT pioneered the speed limiter innovation in commercial buses in Nigeria 10 years ago. Then Corp Marshal, Osita Chidoka, personally visited PMT headquarters at Emene, to commission the project.

Dr. Onyishi, who announced the new policy to a gathering of excited drivers at the Emene headquarters of the Peace Group Friday, told them all PMT buses in their possession had technically become theirs, and would formally change ownership if and when they made steady financial returns up to an agreed amount into the account of the company, in due course.

It is widely acknowledged that drivers of commercial vehicles are generally more considerate and safety conscious if and when they have an economic stake in the vehicle they operate.

Dr. Onyishi told them that from Monday, July 1, they would effectively become owners of the buses they drive, while assuring that the new policy was well-thought-out and particularly designed to appreciate and empower drivers in the service of PMT.

Dr. Onyishi recalled while addressing the staff that he had promised the present Corps Marshall, Boboye Oyeyemi, during his maiden visit to PMT, that as Chief Executive officer, he would continue to think out of the box and make necessary sacrifices to improve safety on the Nigerian highways. The DTO, he added, was in partial fulfillment of that pledge

The over 3000 buses in the PMT active fleet are involved in the scheme in the first instance, in addition to the 200 units of new Kingo Hiace buses to be injected shortly. They are undergoing final stages of installation at the Peace Mass Auto Assembly Plant.

The CEO told the staff that the DTO policy was meant to reward hard work and create future PMT drivers and their families would look forward to with assurance and pride.

Prior to the introduction of the DTO, PMT had had, over the years a reward policy for diligent drivers on long service. Under this policy, drivers who had put in 15 years and above in PMT service are entitled to a bonus of a fairly used vehicle on retirement.

PMT is the leading mass transit company in the country with operational depots in over 65 locations across the federation.

She has been around for over two decades.

Very good move no driver will speed again see as they will drive the busses carefully knowing fully well it will become theirs when they work hard infact some of them will now become snail Glo network in order to meet targets safely

Without target, their recklessness killed hundreds of passengers and other road users. Now that they have a target, you all know what would happen.

I rather enter Sienna and ready for any how the Driver treats me than pay exorbitant price and still get insulted by their drivers.

Speed limiters @peace mass, I have serious doubts. if you are cruising at 110 KLM per hour and a peace mass pursue and overtakes you, at what speed is it cruising?
This happened along Ofeme - Okigwe -Enugu express way

To imagine that this trans company started as a campus shuttle in his undergraduate days. 3000 buses and an assembly plant is not a joke, nice scheme.

Na scam.You no know IBO man?If them no sign papers e no go work.Na just to make them maintain his buses.

good move, those pmt drivers are so rude,no manners!.

lonelydora:


Not at all. It's a good move. They will be more careful with the buses. After all, there's bnothing the driver's speeding will do, because they only go once a day or at most twice a day for short distances.

Are you a staff of the company? You seem to know so much about them

tyup:


why are 80% of drivers driving to the North Igbos?

because the buses are owned by igbos. The bus company I mentioned is owned by Imo state government under a PPP. You better don't misinterpret me because my post is not bigotry.

lonelydora:
Good move. Same thing Dangote does.

This will make drivers to be more careful on the road knowing fully full well the bus will become theirs few years to come.

But, I will also advise the drivers to take up this scheme on Toyota Hiace buses and not the KingLong and other Chinese make.

Keep making us proud, Dr. Maduka Onyishi. Peace Mass Transit, A Gift from Above.

You guys are wrong, these peeps are business men. Their business interests comes first before any welfare package. What do you think Dr maduka will do with over 200 buses when the rail system the fg is building starts to function? Likewise dangote with his trucks?

Simple, they are business men. They are ditching road for rail. Don't be surprise if they start buying coaches. They are going to the next level leaving we the poor masses behind.

Every successful business man is able to see and predict ahead.

We all know that any motor can spoil anytime. But the drivers are so rude and abusive, they don’t care about their passengers comfort.

Pmt driver driving like they going to golgotar.

l don't think so but rather it will make them more diligent, careful, safety conscious bearing in mind that the vehicle will be theirs in a couple of years, only a fool will destroy what will eventually be his, so it is a laudable venture from the guy

Air Peace, Peace Mass. Igbo Amaka

Nairaland panel of judges.. Only the drivers knows the benefits so stfu
