Town Service Vs Uber by SuperMyke: 6:44pm On Jun 24, 2022
So I've been thinking and perhaps you guys can help me.

Which is better to invest in as a side hustle?
I had other options but I prunned it down to between Uber and town Service.

Those knowledgeable in both areas should please give their opinion as it'll be much appreciated.

I'm assuming you have the car already and the car can be used for either of them.

From what I see where I live, town service comes with too much headache from Abgeros, ticket sellers, fellow drivers, wear and tear on vehicle e.t.c.

I don't think those who do town service make that much money from it as compared to Uber to justify the stress

So its Uber for me.

Obviously you don't know what you're talking about.

Replying you even feels like a waste of time because I expected it to be obvious.

An uber driver will carry a maximum of 15-20 people a day.

A town service driver will carry a minimum of 5 persons per trip and up to 60-70 persons a day. That's 60-70 people slamming his door, stepping on his foot mat, and wearing out his door handle.

They will also put more stress on his shock absorbers, he will use the brake more often leading to wear and tear of brake pads and disc.

His transmission will do more work from constantly shifting through all gears everytime a passenger comes down from the vehicle or each time he picks a passenger.

Agberos will drag his door handle/side mirrors and sometimes break them, hit things on the vehicle when he tries to run away and not pay them.

I can't even begin to mention all the wear and tear issues with town service

Lastly, you saying that an uber driver spends more time on the road is false. There's no truth to it at all

If you don't have the vehicle then town service may be better due to the lower cost of entry.

You can get a town service vehicle where I live for less than 500k. You make your money faster
