Good morning guys. So I have a bus I intend using to move goods for people. But I want to do it in a transparent way not just name price. Please how do I calculate travel distance cost. I mean fuel consumption with miles. Stuffs like that

Or any healthy tip generally in calculating travel distance cost would be well appreciated. Thanks

if the business is in Nigeria don't bother, charge pay as you go

haggling then Data collection.

haggling, I have a client that wants to go to lekki from ikoyi, anybody plying that route has money to dish out (data) I bill you 10k and the customer says too much, he/she is only willing to pay 4k, then I say too low, if you can pay 6k, customer says too much that he/she has only 4k cash but inorder not to delay customer is willing to add 1k but through transfer (haggling), you accept it as an learning curve so next time you know what it's worth to move goods and services from ikoyi to lekki and vice versa.

Important to note that it shouldn't be done just once. Do it a couple of times and get an average figure.
