As a present fleet manager of a 100% CNG converted vehicles, CNG will definitely increase profit margin but its still not the complete solution for problems we face as drivers. CNG most of the times is difficult to get. I notice how the guys using electric cars are super chilled. Thus I believe electric car is the way to go, less moving parts just battery and drive hubs. Whereas CNG still leave you with all moving parts you have to deal with using petrol.
Who here has experienced e-hailing in any other city outside Lagos?
Lagos is a very hostile place to drivers.
My driving experience in Ibadan has been pretty pleasant, we have a few drivers on weekly remittance of 60k weekly with CNG though and to my surprise they are always meeting up ontime with no excuses.
To highlight the cool side of driving in Ibadan; No traffic only on rare occasions and never compared to Lagos traffic.
No touts to harass you incase of a breakdown.
No need for Lasdri, and other documents required of rideshare drivers in Lagos.
The train service has improved the business in Ibadan.
In a nutshell if you are feeling tired of Lagos and you have the flexibility to explore a new city, I think you should try experiencing Ibadan
GoAbroad25: Hello Luxurydriver, I'm about to purchase Royal split AC. How has your experience been in terms of durability & cooling? Will you recommend it?
ksmart027: There's nothing wrong with the gear, service with Honda dw1 or total mvlv. Honda recommend dextron 6 not 3. Though i still prefer stick shift.
Bro do the research honda is notorious for failing gear system
2RightHands1Coc: [Go for Honda civic quote author=obuneme post=133295081]Please guys I’m considering getting a Honda civic 2008 for this hustle. Please between this civic and Corolla which is better for this hustle in terms of fuel economy and durability of the vehicle.
The civic has a fragile gear system, for me I'll prefer the manual transmission type. If not go for corolla
ReadaDream: If you decide to venture into Ehailing, you might become completely lost in it.
...before you enter, please have an EXIT plan....and be sure to stick to it.
Can the sales of your Camry fetch you 5-6m?.. you can get a toks standard Honda Civic 07-09 between 3-4m. As for staying on the Island, you will have to go further down Sangotedo to get something affordable in rent. A mini flat will do, 600-700k rent with total package of 1m,.so rent renewal won't be hard on you..
This peak period is the best time to start, so you can maximize your earnings.
Meanwhile Lagos is not your regular city, everyone is out to "Chop" you. You have to be ready and street smart. Make friends active drivers here so they can put you through.
Whatever you decide on....Have an EXIT plan. Ire o
Very smart and reasonable answer. This is the best answer for you brotherly.
To add to what has been said, stay on the mainland instead, 600k rent will be a strain on you. Your rent shouldn't be more than 300k as a struggling guy.
