Also what is it that I have to do for the right lic? And does it matter about my past criminal record for the lic? AM PLANING TO START WITH JUST ME RUNNING AND DRIVING for now and then hiring help once its going good.

  • James expert adviser said on March 26, 2011

    @tommy gardner, it is risky. Why you want to take chances? Better you contact the local DMV office to make sure if that meter can be used or not.

    I am actually writing a project on a taxi business in Cameroon. My observation was that the payback time is quite long (about three years). Another worry is the extent to which insurances can cover accidents in my country, However, its a good biz and I plan to get a handful of friends to partner with me. I am impressed with all the comments on this biz.

    Tacoma, Washington. USA. In answer to . tommy gardner's questions. the RMI meters are out of support and not worth your time. O recommend Centrodyne 620's. They are a solid easy to program meter. If he contacts me I would be delighted to help him out with info.

    stacy@dtg-consulting.com

  • STACY ANDERSON beginner adviser said on August 11, 2011
    Tacoma, Washington. USA. In King County, you have to buy someone else's medallion. They are not cheap. In Seattle, it takes 15 licensed cabs to be a company. In the surrounding Counties it is cheaper and easier. If he wishes he can contact me at stacy@dtg-consulting.com and I will be glad to help.
