I don't know about Hoppa but KBS take care of nearly all issues.
Thanks Kaka Z. Does the daily takings change? Remember KBS has access to the town centre but you also pay them a fee to manage the vehicle. Anyone with figures?
Yes, daily earnings vary. Management fee is 10% of gross.
I would advise you to get info at their View Park towers office
Their website talks of management fee of 12% for new franchisees.
Seems a good deal to me as the management takes care of almost everything and from what I hear receipts are issued compulsorily to passengers so the higher the revenue, the more KBS benefits and thus higher revenues any wazuan with a bus there????
I will pop into KBS sometimes for a Q&A and will update the forum
Waiting eagerly!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People, KBS are a bit worrying. Yes they will take care of all legal issues for which you contribute KShs 100 per day. Problem is that they will also take more than 50% of all income in various charges. If you have 33 seater (most popular I think) you will collect on average gross of KShs 12,500 but will remain with KShs 5K after all deductions. This is a bit thin especially considering that a 33 seater will set you back KShs 5M
Other SACCOs may at least guarantee KShs 8k-10K daily which may be more feasible but the issue will be the headaches tied to police and overall management. Still thinking about my options here!
