September 12th, 2006 01:26 AM #11igorbaby: Mahirap daw makipagusap sa mga driver, that's why he hired a manager. Madami kasi daw natatanggap na death threats galing sa sariling drivers. Mahirap na. The drivers don't even know my uncle's face. Violent kasi yung iba, init ata ulo pag di umabot sa boundary.

September 14th, 2006 08:35 PM #14brand new taxis like altis and vios normally have 1400-1500 boundary, while 96 to 98 units around 1000-1200, 99 and in between 1200-1300 et al
after interviewing at least a hundred+ drivers (pag nagtataxi ako) for the past 6 months or so ive arrived at a conclusion: the taxi operator business is definitely lucrative. It all depends sa proper tutok ng maintenance and driver good moral character. Karamihan ng mga nakausap ko matitino naman, lalo na ung mga middle aged at pamilyado na, (35 yrs old and up). Sawa na siguro sa mga bangga at kalokohan
... iba na talaga nagagawa ng may pinapalaki
unfortunately iv yet to talk with a bigtime operator, puro small time pa lang pero ganun din ang feedback nila, as long as behave ang driver mo at maingat sa sasakyan, siguradong panalo. Lalo na kung beginner minimum investment lang by taking second-hand but well-maintained taxi units.
And of course kelangan din ng sprinkle of luck, and blessing ng nasa Taas.
Sure pre ok yang partnership pre Il discuss it muna sa family ko dahil d ko pa alam how we can work out the nitty gritty, pero for now very sure na ko next year na mag operator.

Those boundary rates are 24hrs o 12hrs operation? Sir, just let me know your location, maybe I can visit you next year during my vacation.
Thanks a lot!

September 16th, 2006 11:00 AM #17good luck guys. its always great to hear from enterpreneurial spirits.
just my 2 cents: yung isang family driver namin, dating taxi driver. dalawang beses daw siyang na-hold-up (at twice na siya nasaksak sa tagiliran) ng pasahero. ayaw na niya ng pangatlong hold-up kaya nag-family driver na siya. on both occassions (yung dalawang hold-up events), kasama nang na-carnap ang taxing minamaneho niya.
yung family driver din ng kaibigan ko, dati ding taxi driver. na-holdup naman siya ng babaeng pasahero (di daw siya makapaniwala up to now na naisahan siya ng babaeng pasahero), kaya nag-family driver na siya. na-carnap din ang taxi niya during the hold-up.
so guys, please get insurance for your taxi fleet. yun lang and good luck again. dami ko na ding na-interview na taxi driver kapag nag-ta-taxi ako and 99% said its a lucrative business (may isang nagsabing hindi daw).

September 16th, 2006 01:16 PM #18mga brads, ok tong thread na binuksan nyo ah. Maganda nga ang taxi na negosyo. Pero mas mainam ata ang mga service type sa mga terminal compared dun sa mga naghahanap ng pasahero.
May alam ba kau sa joining fee at annual fee ng mga terminal... lalo na yung sa may park square one. nagiisip din kasi ako bumili ng urvan tapos gawin kong kabuhayan to aside pa sa 9 to 5 job ko. hehe.

I honestly think that there's way too much taxi around already. But sana naman itabi na nila yun bulok and open new franchises for wannabe operators with new fleet of taxis. if a vios cost like 550K and boundary is 1200 a day, 1 year and 3 months lang bawi ka na but that is the taxi is running every day of the year. But isipin nyo din kung buong araw tumatakbo yun taxi, bilis ma laspag nun and that's where maintenance cost comes in. Dapat siguro may sarili kayong mechaniko, that way di kayo sa casa o sa talyer pa magpapa maintain or repair.
Di ko lang sure kung yun driver o operator yun gagastos para sa repairs, o hati. dapat hati para ingatan ng driver yun kotse.
But it is a chinese vehicle you can get spare parts from lazada or shopee right?
