HOW LUCRATIVE IS TRANSPORTATION BUSINESS IN LAGOS

These conversation is around how lucrative transportation business is in Lagos. A first hand experiment shows that Lagos drivers lie about their income. If bus or car owners took to driving their buses/taxi by themselves, they make double of what is delivered to them with complaints on a daily.

Took my bus out today to hustle myself and did 5 trips. Started at 7am and closed at 2:35pm. I made N24,700 and gave my conductor N5,000. Filled up my bus tank with N4800. Interest was N14,900. I go again tomorrow.

Imagine I start hustling by 6am and close by 7pm which my drivers usually pick my buses and close...that means I'd make over N30,000. Those bastard drivers can't deliver mere N8000 daily without endless. complaints. Imagine what I made today as an amateur in this business.

I have a car i use for Bolt only Saturdays and sundays. I comfortably make 60 to 70k for those 2days..But drivers find it difficult to pay me 20k a week..you handle your things better....Oga. I dey drive for bolt too. This one na lie even if you work 24 hrs for bolt.

Let me teach toy what i didn't know initially, set destination to island ones you wake up on weekends. From island set another one back to mainland, that two trips alone will give you nothing less than 12k, then from 4pm to 12midnight surge tripples, try this patern and come back.

A colleague of mine bought camry for Bolt and his account got activated last friday, he worked on Saturday and made 19k, bolt to deduct 2k and he bought 5k before he start the day hustle. He made 12k that day. Mind you, he ignore some order cos it far. My guy resigned today.

This conversation established that transportation business is more lucrative t how regular drivers made us believed.
