Which is more suitable for a Taxi: The Avanza or the Vios?

[ghosthunter]

For taxi purposes, I would probably go for the Avanza. Better headroom and bigger cargo area helps.

Thanks ARB! definitely wheels between the Vios and Avanza are not interchangeable. Having two of a kind vehicle already gives me a pair of brand new tires which I can use.

*khitmaine, If you are offering new taxi franchises, PM your contact details and I will call you.

Thanks.

If I were you vios, kasi pag avanza baka gawing kargahan ng kung ano-ano yan ng mga driver mo, o kaya gawing parang FX sakyan 10 katao mag lagay sila jump seat sa likod kawawa naman yung avanza baka di tumagal. Alam mo naman mga driver para malaki kita nila papakontrata nila ng mahal para kargahan ng kahit ano kahit overloaded.

I guess thats the reason why R&E did not include avanza for their new taxis. Vios and Kia Rio lang.

AFAIK there's a ruling on the taxis that they can only fit up to 5 pax (incl. the driver). That's why the Avanza taxi units dont have 3rd row seating.

Add ko lang about R&E sa kia rio, test run nila yun (30 units) pero in the end nag vios sila ulit cos of the lpg consumption "malakas" (sa amin kumukuha ang operator ng R&E).

Avanza for me, mas suited kasi sa mga kalye nating sira-sira ang RWD.

Vios ka na lang. Hindi kasi masyado napapansin na taxi ang avanza, tignan mo yung ibang avanza na taxi meron nakalagay na "TAXI" or "TAXI PO ITO" sign sa side window. Hirap din yung iba sumakay sa avanza kasi mataas. Mas comfortable din pasahero mo kapag sa vios.

when the Avanza Taxi first came out, people were skeptic about it, but if you look around nowadays, more and more avanza taxis are out on the streets..


i'd go for the avanza.

Vitignan mo yung ibang avanza na taxi meron nakalagay na "TAXI" or "TAXI PO ITO" sign sa side window.

I think that is more to inform would-be riders that the Avanza is a taxi and not a FX shuttle.

If I was the operator maybe Avanza, but if I was the commuter Vios ako...
