Sky Bus Transport System S.Co.

 

A share company under formation in Ethiopia, seeks to bring a new level of exemplary comfort, convenience and service to road transportation in Ethiopia.  In terms of long distance domestic travel, Ethiopia's capacity (private and public) to provide service to the 80 million strong population is limited to a scant one seat per 1,500.  The vast majority of the available capacity is to be found in the segment typified by what is commonly seen at Autobus TERA in Addis Ababa.  Old, decrepit buses proliferate the system the choices beyond them are minivans (for short trips such as to Nazret from Addis) or renting a car to make the drive oneself.  In the stratospheric range (comparatively speaking), one can always book a flight on Ethiopian Airline's domestic service but the the schedules are uneven and the prices prohibitive.

Informed Prospects

Having completed an 11 month research project to determine prospects in this sector,  SkyBus is poised to capitalize on the fruits of its research.  

Means of Transport  Min. Average Number of Vehicles
Minimum Average Monthly Passenger Flow  Minimum Average Annual Passenger Flow  Minimum Average Annual Cash Flow (Birr)
         
Long Distance Bus
300
520,000
6,200,000
325,900,000

 

As can be seen from a partial snapshot of the SkyBus' research results, there is a significant market opportunity in this sector.  This is especially true when considering the normal mode of long distance bus transport characterized by old, failing and unreliable vehicles, irregular schedules and confined quarters.  SkyBus aims to service less than one percent of the total addressable market in its initial phase of operations.
