I Need Help Buying A Bus by abdsamad(op): 3:09pm On Nov 24, 2024
I don't have any experience whatsoever regarding the transport business but I'm trying to explore the possibility of buying a bus and hiring a driver to do interstate travel from LAGos.

I have reliable drivers; I've heard that's one big problem in the industry


My budget is only about 10m. I don't know what vehicle to buy that'll be worth anything in that range. I think a bus makes sense since it can carry more passengers than a sienna in one go.

I'm hoping the bus can go from LAGos to somewhere like ilorin where it'll just be two trips a day: to and from. I hope that'll make the days predictable and accounting for money easy.

I don't know why if that amount of money can get a good bus that'll serve that purpose. If it's unrealistic, I'm open to suggestions from anyone please.

I'm not aware of what issues which bus models commonly have and which ones are best. The Toyota hiace series seem like the gold standard but the prices I've seen are angry. Which other models might one consider.

Please, any advise will be appreciated.

I know there's a quagmire ahead when it comes to parks and loading and such. Any help understanding this will be much appreciated too.

It's an excellent business model. But my dear you need a Toyota Hiace for this business model.

Otherwise begin with what you have and scale down your expectations and go for a SIENNA ..

Thanks. I've accepted the reality; a Sienna or similar it must be for now
