Gabriel estimated earnings from the commercial vehicle

According to the figures he shared, the vehicle could bring in about GH₵500 daily, which would amount to GH₵3,000 weekly if it works six days a week.

He further estimated that the same vehicle could generate GH₵12,000 monthly and around GH₵144,000 yearly.

Looking at the business over a longer period, Gabriel projected that the Sprinter could make GH₵432,000 in three years.

He also factored in the likely cost of keeping the vehicle on the road, estimating maintenance over the three years at GH₵50,000.

After subtracting both the maintenance cost and the original cost of the vehicle, he concluded that the owner could make an estimated GH₵182,000 net profit after three years.

Gabriel added that one of the major benefits of such a business is the low daily involvement, especially once the driver becomes trustworthy and reliable.

While many agreed that the idea looks promising on paper, others noted that the actual profit could depend on several real-life factors such as fuel prices, route demand, repairs, police issues, spare parts and driver honesty.

Still, the discussion has put the spotlight on commercial transport as one of the business options many Ghanaians continue to consider due to the constant demand for public movement in major towns and cities.
