How safe is your minibus? Taxi passengers rely on drivers to keep them and their belongings secure. At the same time, driving a minibus means you go anywhere, anytime – you can’t always choose the safest spots and slots.
Being a driver is a demanding job. But between passengers, you’re likely to have some waits – so why not use them to educate or entertain yourself with a podcast?
Every type of job comes with its own, unique set of challenges. Working as a minibus driver – either professionally or on an ad-hoc basis for clubs, charities or schools – is certainly no exception.
Before you undertake a long journey in any vehicle it’s important that you’ve planned for it and are taking extra precaution. When driving a minibus, the planning must be meticulous due to the number of passengers that you are carrying and the size of the vehicle.
When you’re spending all day in the car as a taxi driver, it’s important to look for ways to make driving quicker, simpler and more fun. With the plethora of great smartphone apps now available, journeys need not be long, traffic-heavy voyages with nothing but commercial radio to keep you entertained.
Running a taxi business in the digital age means you have to be switched on to online promotional tactics which will extend the reach of your firm and elevate your reputation.
