Taxi Operator Business 101

[likot]

up ko lang to plan rin namin magtaxi business...

1. Pwede bang isang unit lang, kukuha lang kami ng Avanza na hulugan.
2. Pano kumuha franchise sa LTFRB open pa ba? Pano ba to kuha muna ng franchise or bumili muna kami? Meron bang franchise na good for 5 lang pero isa lang muna unit ko?

3. Gaano katagal ma release ang franchise.
4. I'm the one who'll drive kung malaki talaga ang kita.
5. Magkano kitaan ngayon, bawas na ang gas (not LPG) 7am to 10pm?
6. Kaya ko ba kumita ng 1500 since ako naman magddrive? Gaano katagal before ko to kitain?

note: estimated ko palang ito kasi on process pa lang kasi yung kinukuha ko franchise at car sa financing:

1. ang alam ko hindi pwede. 20 kasi ang allowed ng LTFRB.
2. see answer 1. Bili ka muna car.
3. MATAGAL. depende kung marami ka pera
4. malaki talaga kung ikaw.
5. kung 7am-10pm estemate ko.
350 km per day (depende) / 15km (estimated 15km per 1km sa Vios) x value of gas P33.00 - 4,000(gross money) - (boundary) 1,500 = Net na kita... ikaw na mag kompute.
6. sobra pa kasi pati yung estimated boundary kita mo na (see computation). kung gano katagal depende kung masipag ka.

sa mga operator please give us sugestions and feedback

I plan to start a taxi business too, starting with one then hopefully after a year add 1 more, of course bago or if 2nd hand naman yung well maintained and mga 2-3yrs palang nagamit as private car ang kukunin ko.

I think this business is right for me since I really love cars, Even though I'm not a mechanic pero hilig ko talga so i think tama naman yung isang nagmention dito na kung anong hilig mo sya mong gawing negosyo.

Mga Brads,

Actually we managed to secure a franchise and hoping marelease na in a couple of days.

It took almost 14 months to get this far and last update was that its ready for plate changing, meter change ek ek..

I will post as soon as the yellow plate comes out..

All the best,
Tonyszm

14 months? ang tagal pala. may nag process para sa inyo o kayo mismo ang nag asikaso?

Para maging successful ung taxi business dapat meron ka baril para panakot sa mga driver nyo
Dapat kinatatakutan ka ng lahat
Dapat meron ka isang taong mapagkakatiwalaan at marunong pero walang budget para hindi makapagsarili.

Ganyan ang secret ng iba ex. Farinas- farinas bus line
Chavit singson- partas busline

Hi,

Tip ko seriously, kung mag tataxi business ka, try to checkout the geely cars first, kc yung price ng isang toyota can buy 2 brandnew units of geely LC Panda 1.3L, well quality wise din kc geely ang bagong owner ng Volvo. so if you're planing to buy 5-7 2nd hand units of toyota, x2 mo each for LC Panda with 5 yrs warranty ka pa.... same income din each taxi ang makukuha mo.

POST #1. Salesman ng Geely ito.

[Wh1stl3r]

Didn't know Geely was still selling cars, last time I saw one was as a prize in one of Kris Aquino's game shows. If china cars are anything like china buses and trucks you'll definitely save a lot on acquisition cost but lose much more than that in maintenance costs. Build quality/alignment of panels is terrible and the brake pads/clutch wear out much faster than Japanes/Korean cars. Hina pa ng engine. Ask yourself din when was the last time you saw a Geely cab on the road?

natawa ako dun sa comments sa geels salesman. HAHAHA :bwahaha: well, if you're planning to get a taxi, specifically a brand new one go get a mazda 3. para maiba. kiddin, well, i'd choose the new accent and the Kia Rio pag ita-taxi.

agreed.. accent or rio. subok tong unit na to. kasi pag sirain or malakas sa gas ang taxi mo likely na hindi tatagal sayo ang driver. saket sa ulo...

hindi dahil mura e ok yun. around 1994 when we chose the kia pride over the toyota corolla dahil mura siya e yun na nga ang nangyari.

[Geely christian]

Yeah i'm serious, imagine with 5yrs warranty wala kang pproblemahin sa mainteinance.
regarding about geely or cherry, bakit mag iinvest ng Geely ang may ari ng Benz,Chrysler,Jeep and Dodge dito satin sa Pinas
kung alam nyang hindi mganda quality nito.una sa lahat baka ikasira lang ng company name nya yun kung panget yung Geely.
so some of the clients are confident to take this brand,because behind this Geely is isang kilalang Automotive Company.

I have nothing againts sa mga opinion nung iba,infact i respect you all pa nga eh..
and thank you po.

Regarding about sa kia pride boss i agreed, that is not Auto China, those are made from columbia car maker kaya sya ganun.

Boss, baka naman Columbian Autocar Corporation..

Boss, baka naman Columbian Autocar Corporation..

after a year, what happened kaya to the aspiring taxi operator? I just want to hear what happened is it still good business to engage in or should we think of something else?

[rollyic]

instead of taxi....
i'd rather go for van shuttle.

yung taxi kung saan-saan nakakarating at malamang ino-verload ng driver.
yung van isang route lang ang binabyahe at kung 15 people lang ang capacity, hangang don lang ang isasakay nya.

Disadvantage: May Pila at may bayad ang terminal and limited lang ang magiging byahe in a day.
