I don't think it's their personal money that they are wasting.

How was Pokahontas different?

Be careful with that "signature" of yours. I am very aggressive towards spam. No more of it, thanks.

You can have 2-3 seats to yourself if you're ready to pay 2-3 times the normal fare. There'll be no one beside you.

How is making the dog bark over food going to cause the dog to bark at strangers?

Does your company have a name?

I have recently banned a few established female Nairaland members for attacking new members. If there are cliques anywahere, and if they are doing harmful things, just report them to me. Argh!

@fynewaka: go ahead and make it public. How can you hide information about cliques from the admin?

There's a small hole on every CDROM drive for manual ejection. Insert a broomstick into it and see what happens!

but am happy to buy 10% of the businessif you no anyone that wants to venture in this investment.

I'm confused. Why would you buy 10% of a business that "can't work"?

"so" "idiot"

Then all that's left is to visit Nigeria. Good luck!

Wow, this is an opportunity. Let's form a legal firmy that specializes in suing music and movie pirates!!

Contact is optional on a molue bus: if you are ready to pay 2-3 times the usual fare.

The things I want to do for Nigeria, I can do without being the president,
as long as the country remains business-friendly. otherwise, I'm going to Mauritius!

Good point. In other words, they were less safe than the regular molue buses due to potholes and wires.

Read the updates on my last post. I'm done. Call me when you start your 'tear rubber no contact' bus service.

That's because you guys were carrying too much load for the plane!

but a minimum standard for any allowed product must be set,

That is false. Even so, Lagos commuters are already setting minimum standards by voting with their money.

'tear rubber' implies mint condition,

If private cars in Lagos can use mint condition tires, then private buses can use them too. So go ahead!

the molue tires arent, they are worn, treadless things that cause death on the highways.

I disagree. I live close to Lagos, and I can assure you that if the molue driver is sober, then all will be well.

if there were alternatives that were affordable, they would patronise.

A quality product is always less affordable. If you don't want to be squeezed in a bus, then you must pay more!

don't mistake poverty for choice.

When I go to Lagos, I always take a molue bus rather than the smaller mini-buses. And I'm not poor!!

bad roads and poor infrastructure preventing us from putting our 'tear rubber' busses on the road

Please, let's stop giving excuses. Are the tires of the molue buses not made of the same 'tear rubber'?

They should start by putting up the structure.
Not having the structure will not cause them to overcome the alleged rigging machine.

Is "I love you" so hard to say or what? If they want you to say it, then say it. Your mouth won't fall off!

Molues may be 'efficient' if you don't mind being pickpocketed

I know lots of people who take Molue buses frequently and have never been 'pick-pocketed'. That includes me.

stinky and foul when you get to work.

Oh please. Molue buses are just as clean as taxis and mini-buses. That's is a grossly unfair statement.

if you need to be clean to run your bizness, you wont take Molue.

Taxis are available for people like you who are very rich and afraid of human contact.

if we use well run buses instead of cars, we will have reduced traffic

For the average Lagosian, Molue buses are well run enough. Which is why they are patronized very well.
The fact that they allow people to take advantage of the standing room cuts the fares by 50%.

Nothing stops you from putting your "well-run buses" on the road, but please leave the molue drivers alone.

What's the attraction?

What airline was that?

What some people don't realise is that Molues are pretty safe because of their relative size. If a molue collides with a car, the car will be destroyed while the molue bus will remain unscratched because of its relative mass. If the driver is not drunk or high of marijuana, the passengers have nothing to fear.

Molues carry a lot of people for each square metre of roadspace they occupy. Whereas, cars carry a very small number of people compared to the amount of space they occupy. Therefore they are more efficient. If we all start using Molues tommorrow, the traffic situation will improve. Car owners don't want to accept this simple truth.

It is not the beauty of a bus that helps traffic, but its ability to fit many people in a small space. Don't forget that!

Can you post the ones you have as well as their prices?

Please tell me about all the ones you know. Thanks!
(Depending on how serious I am about this, I might decide to relocate.)
