Petrina, a young Ghanaian lady who works as a Yango driver, shared her story and how the job has helped her economically since she started.

According to Petrina she worked as a waitress to raise funds to buy the car which now serves as one of her sources of income.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on YouTube, Petrina said she also sells hair and hopes to own a shop one day since she studied cosmetology.

Petrina said she initially gave the car to a driver so he could render sales within an agreed duration. However, the car broke down at one point and was left at the mechanic's shop.

Petrina decided to leave her job as a waitress, pay for the repair of the car and work with it herself. The SHS-leaver said she often works around Tema since she started as a Yango driver.

She indicated that she sometimes advertises her wigs to her passengers when she picks them up.

According to Petrina, she thinks the Yango driving business is lucrative and one she would encourage others to join.

"On a bad day I make GH¢200 after deducting all expenses. But on good days, I make GH¢500 after deducting money for fuel and other expenses. It is lucrative, and anyone who wants to join should do so."

Petrina stated that she is not shy working as a Yango driver since it feeds her and gives her economic power to do other things.
