depends...... is it a 14 0r 33 seater, new or second hand. if its a new 33 seater then the body builders will do most the work for you and the vehicle will be ready for business when you pick it up. If its a second hand 14 seater then you will need to do all the inspections by ntsa, payment of advance duty and also installation of things such as seats among others. Sacco will mostly deal with day to day operations such as paying for city council parking fees and applying for TLB.
One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything

Hi team. Anyone who has a research of feasibility study report on starting a matatu business? I would wish to read it.

All the very best

Laughing out loudly

Its not funny.. I simply consider it a very tough business unless the matatu owner is part of the 'system'

This is a late reply. December was boom. Muchiki rules that removed probox on the road made things better for us legal folks.

The business really needs you to be hands on. I think owners should have a way of reporting bad drivers. So they are forced to not steal your tyres :)
