Juliet, calm down, you should know peugeot ranks amongst the least reliable automobile brands side by side with daewoo and free lander. Your pijo is wacky wayward and stupid.

Good examples are 605, 607.

For durability and reliability, contact Japanese brands like Toyota, Honda. Their engines even power free landers and speed boats
they're known to outlive their owners if properly maintained.

Lol!
Your point of view is very subjective

kingreign:
We talking millennial cars you're talking ancient of days.

No wonder your cat slave lion king said a 301 is better than an S class W222.

Well, same koskos dey do una

Mr. bros, if you follow intelligently, you will see that the point of argument is not luxury. We are talking about engine strength and reliability here. I can decide to upgrade a
Volkswagen beetle with all the luxury I want. Better still, meet the manufacturers, they can easily give you a customized edition to your taste as long as you can pay.

I believe a lot of automobile manufacturers have had to compromise rugged, die hard, yet easy-to-maintain
Engine models for luxury and eye-catching models ( all dictated by consumer taste which is tending more towards luxury)

kingreign:
peugeot is not related to reliability or durability.
Qed

Blatantly false. 504 for instance, had it's flaws during its reign(door handle and all that). But when it came to durability, reliability, engine strength, that car na baba. In fact sometimes I feel Peugeot should bring back 504,505,404 in a modern, more refined, packaged way. Just like Nokia recently did with 3310 recently

They should just call them the vintage series or something

slamstanlee:
I haven't worked today and i am seeing 800 for today's earnings. I dont understand o

what time did you end your day yesterday? Your last trip could spill over

Romeo3:
anyone asking "if it's advisable" is just a chicken.

driving full time is not for everyone.

cheers

Romeo, I like your sincerity of advise.

@cooleo

Driving is not for everyone.

However, if you lost your job and you HAVE TO resort to driving, its a very cool alternative for the time being.

Also, if you are looking for a way to quickly raise some capital or something, this business is a cool one for that.

There are a lot of challenges you wouldn't know of until you get on the road(just like it is in every other business). More so, what happens if you quit ur job now, and Uber/taxify are not available to you again(close down for whatever reason or introduce some laws that doesn't make you eligible or some other thing). you would have lost both ways

Unless you are not enjoying your job presently and you are looking for a way out, you could create a big picture of your dream business and use taxify/Uber to raise funds for it. AND GO AFTER YOUR DREAMS

Whichever way, it is advisable to venture into it part time while you are still on your job and see if it is something you can join for a longer haul.

For me, I took to this taxify biz after loosing a job. Believe me, the experience was GOLDEN. I can't quantify everything I learnt in less than 3 months, places i got to, that i wouldn't go on a normal day. People I met, good , bad and ugly

I am a lover of adventure and my experience with taxify was an awesome one.
Through the experience, I have built more confidence in myself because I have re-affirmed that i can make money whether on a job or not, so I will never consider myself at the mercy of an employer.

I loved the autonomy it gave me. I was my own boss, decided when I wanted to make money.

I am out of Taxify business cos I got a job that gives me time to develop and focus more on my dreams.

Asides, all these, if driving is your passion or hobby like ogunvich , then you've got the right business.

However, whichever scenario seems to be ur case, whether you want the Uber/Taxify biz as a full time, part time or a means to an end. I can promise you that this thread will help you maximize the journey. Just stay here and keep learning.

Good luck

Pls how do I go about a good and reliable market survey for vegetables in Ibadan.

I want to go into vegetable farming but I am more concerned about how to get/develop a steady market for it in somewhere like Ibadan where most people grow vegetables too

Buy new tyres bro. Tot I advised u about that when we spoke...

No No No, the rider was narrating his ordeal to me. It was his car that got a burst tyre some days before. So he ordered my cab to take him to his mechanic and we got talking.

Yes we've spoken and I am working on it. Fixing the lights first

Did servicing yesterday

xana101:

So tell us d whole story. How did u get his destination and how did he pay u.

By the time we got to Lekki, myself and the chick wey him carry tried to wake him up before he could mumble Badore

We reached Badore and we tried waking him again before we got his hotel after turning round and round.

Finally, when I slammed the bill on him, na en him eye come clear finish. He come dey tell me say mehn when it comes to that, his drunkenness no reach there oooo. I had to let go of N600.

Lol

Lol!!!
My first rider this morning was drunk.
He couldn't even tell me where he was going.

Chai!!! Smh

blackylola:
The request is okay and I have to ignore some useless rides this morning, location is the key to get request

Where did you get request this morning?
I guess something was unusually wrong.
I was at Magodo Shangisan, nothing happened. After an hour I went to airport, still nothing. I was almost leaving when my first request came in.

myquestion:
3rd mainland is a no go area dis evening .
Heavy traffic

Thanks.
Only 3 trips since morning

Wetin dey happen o. Everywhere just extra dull. I go everywhere, no request since 7 am

Mehn I was at taxify office today to resolve an attitude issue. Then I met a guy who made a whooping N176k in a single week. I didn't believe until he showed me.
The least he ever did a week was 96k and he claimed it was cos of offline trips

I was seriously motivated

blackylola:
any filling station is safe you just have to wait and discusse with their security

Thanks.
I was by a church yesternight at Festac. They were having a night vigil. The security man accosted me and I explained that I was a taxi driver. Immediately he heard that, he started billing me. N500.

I just shook my head. For this Lagos, everyone will take advantage of you in the slightest opportunity

I carried a rider yesterday. He was going to the mechanic to fix his car.
The tyre burst in the night and had to drive it like that till he got to a safe place.

This got me thinking.
.Pls house, which particular places are unsafe esp at Night in Lagos oooo. Security wise. As I am still new to Lagos

Seun360:
Am interested in these Uber/Taxify hustle but dont know Lagos roads, Lagos driving, Lagos LASTMA, Police n touts...... Where will i start from?
