I am seriously thinking of getting a car and giving it to a driver to use for Uber. I have a maximum of N1,5m to spent

few questions- is this still a profitable venture?
what type of car should I buy?
how long does the registration process take?

should I buy a car in Nigeria or try to ship one in from Europe?
all contributions appreciated.

I think today is my worst day ever on ehailing but in all I thank god1.

After driving out of that toxic situation with the little boy I stopped over at mobile filling station which is along the mushin-oshodi road just after NNPC close to Kappa bus stop. Bought fuel 2k. At the exit was where I waited with my engine and AC on to type while sharing my experience on this thread and reporting the incidence to bolt because the same boys request came in again, so I'd to cancel after 5min while reporting.

After all of these I off my app and head straight home, I went through agege link to Iju ishaga road, picked up a disable friend and droppes her at home before going back to Abule Egba. Just as I was about driving into my compound my fuel has gone back to reserve where it was b4 I refuel.

Brother man, run from anything mobile along that road.

Guy some riders are a disguise in their approach on phone why some are not.

Why are snakes regarded as one of the most dangerous animals on earrh? A cobra can hide in the sand just attack, how about a green snake? So drop it!.

2days ago a lady with calm gentle voice and with good manners kept me waiting for over 15mintues that was after several calls I'd put through to get the right PU address and even pee after arriving, came back to thw car call again. After about almost 20min of waiting I'd had to cancel after driving out. It took her another 10min before calling asking me where I was, still in her gentle and calm voice on the phone.

So guy hash all those preaches, you probably didnt meet the ugly once or maybe the good hadn't gone bad during the time you rode; I encourage you to do a 1 week test one of these days then come back and tell us how far.

Felicity0001:

What assumptions are you still wasting precious time on?

Nobody will have such impetus to pull such stunt without being in his/her area let alone a little boy that knows I could easily crush him like a tractor.

Guy, the matter happen for him area Adedokun Street, Mushin and if unfortunately the matter set trust men go show. As a matter of fact I don already place call to one or two persons b4 stepping out of the car so leave that talk about assault my mumu no reach that height.

Anywhere I find myself either in lagos, outta Lagos or Nigeria first thing I do is pin a tent of human defense, if e set na settlement go end am las las

I had a rider like that yesterday. After waiting for more than 15mins, she came and said she wanted to pick up something from the boutique just in front of us. I was looking at her plainly without emotions. I took out my phone and checked the riders app, to get another driver in that location would take another 15-20 mins as drivers were not around the area. I smiled.

I looked at the boutique and saw them removing clothes from the mannequin for her to still check out all these was going to another 5-10 mins of waiting. She later came out and was trying to open the door which I already central locked.

Me- yes hello can I help you?
Rider- oga open your door, I’m late for this trip abeg let’s hurry it’s getting dark.

I just shook my head and jejely canceled the ride because Lord knows that I will most definitely fling her out of my car when we get to 3mb.

I would have wanted to make the ride hellish for her for being insensitive but alas I just shook my head and said this one is not worth the stress. I only stress when you threaten my life/property anything aside that abeg carry your wahala dey go.

So you somehow waited till she came out.
Only for you to cancel there after

Na Dru get ena power here sumtimes

Felicity0001:

Yes but I can't share his contact here without his concept do well to reach me for his contact.

This happened last year.

I got a trip around agungi by 10:30pm. I was around ilefo link road around agungi. Destination Christ Ave. Called rider.

Me- Hello good evening I’m at ilefo link road
Rider- Okay come to rockaid pharmacy
Me- Okay
Looked at the PU, it’s just about 100m from where i parked.

Drove there called rider.

Rider- Where? I can’t see you
Me- I’m parked right at the front of rockaid
Rider- Oga I said you’re not here abi are you deaf
Me- Can you describe the place where you are?
Rider- Oga can’t you follow your map or are you blind
Me- Haba I am staring at one rockaid here or is there another?
Rider- Oga don’t ask me questions, ask people there. please hurry up abeg you’re wasting my time.
Me- Okay.

Asked around and got to know there is another rockaid pharmacy at the corner to the left from the roundabout.

Got there, called rider.

Me- I’m here o.
Rider- Okay I’m coming

Waited for another 5 minutes because the rider was not done. Eventually she came out and entered the car. One look from me and she greeted good evening. I responded and we proceeded on the trip. When we got to the traffic light at circle mall, a call came, apparently it was her boyfriend and she discharged him that I’m sure you are as tired as I am boo. Just go have your bath, we’ll talk when you’re rested. Werey girl now called the guy she was going to meet to try to wait for her somewhere close to the street we were heading to. After about 2 mins, I calmly said, so your name is efe right?

Rider- yes what happen
Me- so you’re a warri girl ba
Rider- Yes
Me- I know. I know that’s how rude you girls talk and behave. I have lived in warri and I’ve come across a lot of your type.

Mhen the girl was so happy na so she drop 2k jump comot from motor run go meet the guy. I just laughed and drove off.

Bafter option on transportation to invest in now is mini bus.

Before The ban on keke and bikes that bus used to be sold around 500-800k, right now I'm sure it must have gone as high as 1m. So you probably would want to consider that, daily balancing in some areas like GRA ikeja is about 5k. HP is about 2times the value. All you need do is carry out a comprehensive insurance and pray to get a good person.

But most importantly, pray about any business you want to go into this period because I heard in the news LASG is making plans of bringing in those mini busses next month or there about in large quantities to help fill the loop by the ban of bikes and keke.

So pray my dear friend, pray.

ephbe:
Hello Guys,

Your advises are needed.
A family member wants to go into transportation however, he is thinking of getting the 18 Seater Danfo bus considering that demand in Lagos is high or will be
by the time everything becomes normal again since Okada and Keke have been banned on major roads.

My question:
1. Do you think, if properly managed, it can yield good returns (It will be on HP plan). He will use ehailing model with the trackers and weekly inspection process since it will be tokunboh

2. Does anyone know how much 18 seater buses deliver weekly? The model of the best version of bus would really help

3. Any idea on how much it costs to get one.

4. Is it cheaper to buy from Naija or outside the country, cotonou perhaps?

5. Please any addition will go a long way

Thanks in anticipation

Parlee:
Riders need to learn hard lessons in terms of using the app. Dont request for a ride when you as a rider is not ready to leave your location, I cant drive to your PU location and then start waiting 10 mins, 15 mins plus, its disrespectful and I hardly ever wait more than 5 to 8 mins I don cancel am collect cancellation fee move ahead.

If drivers constantly treat them this way they will sit up. Got a ride this afternoon and rider sounded in a hurry on the phone so na so i speed go PU location, even before I got there gan gan I already called that I am there still got there and waited 10 mins. Dude didnt show up, I cancelled for the fee and drove off. Na when I reach the place wey I been park before which took me like 5 mins dude come de call, just jeje ignored because dudes trip was even a card trip.

Billyddude:
