It's amazing to have brand new taxis in Lagos. Lagos on the move😊👍🏽

Full background check and training is a good one before giving any car.

Great content. This is a good one, how you get to know about this and feature it, is unique. Kudos to you. Good for LASG too.

@NedMedia well done 👍🏾 …..who is the manufacturer name for these cars?….does it have a good reputation for making reliable & durable vehicles?

[@jefferyosoiwanlan5206]

Nice one hope this car were manufactured in Nigeria????

[@jefferyosoiwanlan5206]

Nice one 👍 nija is moving forward 👍

[@davidobiadoh7682]

My own is why import cars to be used. Buy from local manufacturers. Innoson etc

[@thesower6577]

Except they intend to remove the old cabs from the road, and probably recycle them for better utility in other ways, then this will only serve to worsen the congestion situation in Lagos. There are already too many cars on Lagos roads. It’s a good idea, but it shouldn’t be the first priority in my own opinion

[@IOdele]

I believe thats the end goal. Danfo drivers are really unruly

[@jaredfannel1977]

Very good idea, you are manufacturing cars and you need to sell them.

[@NedMedia]

Yes in Nigeria 🇳🇬 more details here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKSskH1tjtiVjtk

[@africanlivingnkorea7611]

My thoughts exactly. Second question is how many people can put down the 20%?

[@adamasimolowo8285]

the cars are manufactured in nigeria. the government will soon utilize Innonson as their governmental vehicles

[@rinzybe]

@@africanlivingnkorea7611 The same question I asked earlier. How many prospective taxi drivers can afford 1.85m???

[@dorcaspascal8862]

That was my thought too and also coughing out nearly 9,000 naira daily, so does that mean the drive has to work every day with no rest? And deducting 20% of total daily income, driver fueling the car from their takings? Mmmm! these doesn't add up or seem like a good deal to me!🤔

[@manuwajames6552]

I love this idea from the state government, I so much hate this Danfo of a thing, some of them cause nuisance on the road. This will make Lagos more beautiful.

[@tayobibi]

I don’t understand what the hell the Lagos state Governor is thinking. The state needs another mode of transportation like underground and overground train system which can reduce the mode of traffics on Lagos roads. I believe it’s time to invest in more cheaper mode of transportation to reduce carbon emissions. The state road gridlock is worsening on daily basis with bad roads because it’s the only mode of transportation in the state already overcrowded.

[@adamasimolowo8285]

They are working on other means of transportation (rail system)

[@bababababababa6124]

@@TheFreshPrinceofWakanda what kind of pollution is the breeze blowing away. First of all we have air pollution which is most common with the use of generators and bad vehicles on the road then noise pollution. The state is just too overcrowded with illegal criminal elements and illegal foreigners.

More cars, great.

[@truethots3088]

I guess the the ride share concept to ease traffic congestion flew over you head

[@tayobibi]

What is great in more cars on the road littered with potholes. I believe the Lagos state Governor should be investing in more on electric trains both underground and overground like any other cities around the world.

[@truethots3088]

@@tayobibi well if you where not just being a complainer you would known the red and blue train lines are nearing completion

[@tayobibi]

@@truethots3088 Am sure by now you should know the history Nigeria is based on corruption and nonchalant attitudes. They can build but can the rail system be maintained? Tolls were collected for years during the military era, but all federal roads were neglected. Nigeria is just.failed country period. The mindsets of most Nigerians is all about going into politics for personal gains and not for the country itself.

[@MajorrBison]

@@tayobibi I can agree on the ground trains I don't know about the underground version. Naija is not ready for that, it takes leadership that is Lazer focused to even think of that type of infrastructure but we don't have leaders. Our leaders can't even make laws and punish offenders who litter. Look at Lagos island "isale eko" for instance what a mess , people selling pepper, towels, pure water, food Infront of skyscrapers and cars can barely pass. 3rd world madness at its best.

[@so9487]

So, basically, the driver pays for the car and does all the work, while the company makes all the money. One has to be the biggest sucker to join this company because the company assumes zero risk in the partnership.

[@samuelolaogun9044]

How these people's get driving licence, taxi licence above all backgrounds check for criminals record of individuals. Nigeria airport taxi is one of the worst in my opinion, I will take taxi in a country such has Ivory coast, Rwanda, Ghana etc. Without fear but not such in Nigeria.

[@adenijioluwamayowa1164]

I think the money is too much The 8,000 per day is too much and after that,they will still remove 25% for each trip. That’s actually too much How much will the driver earn per day then??

Per day? Average of 2k per trip, driver can make more than 10 trips per day.

All coming from Nigeria.

[@olumuyiwaojo3532]

[@GoodwillObieze]

They are using FREE Google Form even after charging almost 2 Million Naira. This profit organization is not for low-income individuals. The reason people look for jobs is that they don't have money. This is a strategic plan to make money for the carmaker and potentially Lagos State politicians (a.k.a Investors) .

[@truethots3088]

I hope they will do psychiatrist test for the drivers. As we know sane people for lagos no reach 10😜😅

There's no need because the drivers own the cars, they just haven't finished paying for it.

[@rinzybe]

1.85 million initial deposit before the car is given out??? How many of these guys can afford such??? Secondly, scheduled maintenance? Is it for free? If not, why taking all the big sum from their account plus 1.85m initial deposit???? Are they really serious? Do they actually want to help these drivers? Why not spread all these money in the daily deduction cost over 5years to make it easier for the drivers? I understand the initial deposit is like a bond which will make you look after the car, but, why not reduce to about 500k, and still spread the rest of the cost over 5years?

[@NedMedia]

How do you know they can't afford it? It is stated clearly in the video that maintenance is free.

[@rinzybe]

@@NedMedia Your reply is a bit concerning to me, meanwhile, I hope you know this is not about you but the Lagos Cab Company (except you are part of the company). Anyway, back to the main point, I really wonder when 1.85million has become that easy for a prospective taxi driver to give out as a deposit. Then add the daily rental, and the other charges. I think it is quite too much for an average taxi driver to contend with and still make gain at the end of the day. However, if you think it is really affordable to them, then, I will be forced to change my view that there is so much hardship in the country. Thanks.

[@NedMedia]

@@rinzybe They won't give out the cars for free, there is so much money in transport business. These cars are new and not used, that's why the deposit is high. If it's a car that costs 2.5m the 20% of that as deposit will apply. As per who can afford, there are so many people who can afford the deposit, so they will take advantage. The government isn't running a charity, they're into it for business gains.

[@pauledwin4487]

@@NedMedia is the money made from the business not for the people, If a driver can afford that amount of money easily then why not buy it by himself. Or the car is not for a common man? Seems the hardships in Nigeria didn't reach your side

[@NedMedia]

Hardship or not, there are many options. If they can't afford Lagos Ride they can go for Uber, Bolt etc. With an amount less than the deposit, one can get on Uber.
