The model should be a win-win situation for all stakeholders.

If you leave Festac, say 8am and get to Mowe by 9:30am, will they be keeping you there till the next day? And if yes, what time will they leave the next day? All these will either make it above 20k
My advice? If they are leaving in the morning. Tell them you'll drop them off and come back the next day to pick them at 20k
I'm just looking at your time sha |

Concerning the Marina story, let me share my experience
I was got a request from Festac one morning. She was going to VI. When she entered,
She: Please pass Alakija. I want to carry a Naval officer there Me:Okay ma. Is he waiting already? She: Just carry any Naval officer going to Bonny camp. Just one, and let him sit at the front
Na so I carry one Navy guy. We cruised to Marina and there was traffic. He asked me to use the BRT. LASTMA were with their spikes at the end. When they saw us, they removed the spikes.... Na so I pass 
So when we dropped off the guy, she told me that's how she goes to work. Even of she driving, she must pick a Naval guy.
Lesson: Avoid BRT lanes at Marina. And if you must pass it, carry a military personnel |

pocohantas: This is stupid.
But then, it isn't sustainable, just a business strategy to take out competitors. Dangote does it a lot, crash prices and strangle his competitors in months. Then he will take over that market. I don't know which body should fight this, but they shouldn't be allowed at all. A very stupid strategy.
If they would be buying their own cars for this, then a lot of uber drivers would be in serious trouble. |

In Lagos, being "smart" means you have to act mad or impatient.
The only advantage of here is there are opportunities to survive. Just buy a big bowl and put #100 satchet water and you'll earn something

Freshprince91: Whenever i get into conversation with riders and they tell me Ambode's government was people's friendly, i tried to argue with them but what happened to me yesterday made me agree with them 100%. During Ambode's regime, most of these road charlatans were taken off the road except you beat the traffic light, take a clear cut BRT lane on the mainland or parked illegally, that is when you'll be arrested. There's a route from outer Marina that leads to TBS, i think the road is divided into 3 or so (left side with a BRT divider takes you to TBS while the middle lane with a ramp to ikoyi and Victoria island on the right. I used to ply the TBS route while i was working at the building construction because it was my fastest and convenient route to Obalende from Maryland (BRT terminal) and i do see cars, buses heading to TBS trail those BRT back then . So yesterday, after dropping off a rider at Broadstreet from Yaba , I headed for my usual spot, ikoyi, and a request came in from TBS when i got to Igbosere to connect Moloney . Called the rider, who told me she's heading to Dolphin estate, ikoyi. Perfect i said! Told her to walk through the TBS gate that I'll be waiting for her right at the exit gate, she said no, that she doesn't know her way around, told her to ask anyone, that she would be directed, she said i should come to the BRT terminal. If i had the premonition that the short 600 naira trip would cost me 20k and my entire day, may be i would have rejected it, after all i have made #4500 card trips as at 8am. Put on my map to navigate my way to TBS (BRT terminal) only for me to find myself on the small BRT divider i used to travel on. Got there and those LASTMA officials flagged me down and asked why i was on that lane and i told them, its the only way to TBS. They said ever since Sanwo-Olu came in, he enacted a bye-law that cars should stop plying the route, that it was meant for BRT alone and i was like, i am not new to this area even though i haven't been here in 6 months but that doesn't mean cars don't take this route to TBS and moreover ,the other lane were free and its not like i was in a hurry, if you guys wanted to arrest me for beating traffic. While i was talking, 2 Hilux vehicles came out from the white building under that bridge and took that same route i was nabbed for and they didn't say anything and i asked why ? They couldn't mutter a word before i could say Jack, one grabbed my key and asked me to come in or else, he would drive down to Olowu, Sura without me. I did all i could to settle the issue out of their office but those guys were not having any of my pleas. Immediately we got to their office, one of the LASTMA officer said so many unprintable words i didn't utter, so many lies that i couldn't defend. I made some calls and one LASTMA official my brother knew came through. After all said and done, he said they booked me already because i tried to prove stubborn and i told him how i pleaded and had to accept my undoing but none of them listened. Long story short, they made me path with 20k as minimum fine, they even asked me to go do photocopies of the payment slip. Immediately, i got my car, i just drove back home angered at what transpired between that morning and how i was sure cars ply that route but what can i do? This is a country where the powerful find every means to extort the commoners . I haven't been able to bring myself to work since 11am yesterday. Eeiyahh
No vex 
If you want to pass BRT lane in Marina, carry soldier for front. And I can bet that if you had parked at TBS, them go still catch you..
It's part of the hustle. |

Plus I don't intend allowing him work all day. Monday's to Friday is fine at 15k. So who services the car at 15k?
How will the maintenance be shared, since both of you will be using the car?

I'm planning a 100 mile road trip very early tomorrow morning,cause the roads will be free cause it's markets sanitation. I'll report back to the house. office has been very demanding lately.no time to come online like before.thanks for asking bro.regards to Pocahontas. pls get her pregnant before the year runs out,so she can get busy with other things than heckling guys here. if you haven't noticed,Mr upstream sector is subtly hitting on her.be guided and aware.
