The thing is tiring! Too many opportunists around.

jaaadddeee:

i guess i should come in here,you guys are right opportunist everywhere.i feel every man created is born selfish so it only take God's grace.we have to live with it.it can never be eradicated most especially in this Nigeria where every one its looking to get secure as a result of the economy so unfortunate.i also feel you should not be discourage.the only thing to achieve your aims is with wisdom and smartness dealing with people.if you are tired of opportunist then you will get no where,just see them as challenges you need to cross by.

So the best you could do is wait till you are on ground and kick start your own project.

alanbolo:

Which is what I'm finally  resulting to do,   been there and done that, it seems am just green-lining up some pple pockets.

BabaJendo:



Gbam, You nail the cross on the head, That's 9ija for you,

NAIRAJET:

This is considered as one of the most lucrative businesses around considering the fact of city congestion around mega city like Lagos and demand for transportation is unbeatable

But at the same time, it could be the worst experience if not handled rightly.

It is better you seek the advice of project/investment consultant on this particular subject. They would be of great help. Never mind the cost because it is better to get the kind of qualitative advice on any startup than to miss the road

be careful of any "ghost" consultants around , pls

God will guide your footstep for your project to land on the rock and not on sand,

Prayer and Wisdom lead to formidable success

I own a building in with two (2) warehouses along a major commercial road in Ekpan (Warri). There is space in front and even behind suitable for a motor park for a transport line.

You can contact me and lets do business.

Interstate requires adequate fleet to back up any breakdown in less than two hours meaning each station must have a bus on standby or others following closely.

cystein:

I think once the vehicles are well serviced and the driver is not just driving without paying attention to the ride and its state, there is not need for one bus following the other.
However, there is a need to make sure that at least chilling while some are working for back ups.

Looks like you know much about driving to a point you forget about reality. Its wise to note;

1. A Car can halt should the firing order reverse wherebby occurence is 34%
2. Breaks can prevent transit as buses require checks and adjustments every 1000kms, 45% possibility
3. Clutch and hydraulics can fail 100%
4. Accidents occur even without a driver causing them.

Ask yourself. Ever seen a bus company survive 8yrs with 2 or five buses? Prove me wrong!

Transport business is one of most lucrative businesses in Nigeria. In this business, you have to buy a bus, register it in any of these transport companies and negotiate with them on how much they will be paying you a month while they do run the vehicles and do the maintainance for you. In this, business, with the exception of the damage of the vehicle beyond repairs, you can recover your investment within 6 months. So, my advice for anyone venturing in this biz is to make sure that he gets a good driver with many years of driving experience, and also keep a close monitoring on him. Also, one has to make sure that the buses are well maintained and always on the road 24/7.

A point to note here! Franchise is a lucrative business but remember the chances of getting your bus back in one piece or buying another is atleast a 20% bet. Its better to manage your own bus by simply starting up your new office but ensure you claim no profits until you buy a third bus.

@CYSTEIN,
old boy you are right, experience is way better than all this book work oh.
i am in the haulage buss. {30 tonne rs} and above, one brake down can lead to big head ache.
know your buss, b4 you venture into it. in a week we spend nothing short of 100k on repairs.
its lucrative.be on ground, good and experience manager, drivers must be well trained on minor repairs,
moto boy/conductor must have at least a min. knowledge on repairs,
your vehicle must carry at least essential kits all the time, i.e gd spare tyres,spanners etc.
more importantly personally go check your investment every wk or fortnightly.
4get profit for now.
more to follow.
