Have you ever leverage on the public transportation services as a business?

ln my country the government allows the people to engage in the transportation of the people using their cars with set of rules and guidelines to follow. However the business is very profitable indeed.

I have not really done it as a business but back then, when my mom gave me her car to run errands, I would load people along the streets and charge them to drop them in their destinations.

I never use my car for that purpose. My car is sensitive. My business does not require lading of something.

I think it will not be suitable to have business like this in my country now. There are so many people engage to this kind of business these days.

We have never tried this before. Our car is over a decade old, so I do not think using it for a Grab or Uber business is practical. Hehe.

Public transportation business is a very difficult business now with the rising costs of PMS in my country.

In my city, it is illegal to transport people using your private car and ask for a fee. That involves issues such as insurance. What happens if there is an accident.

Yes, I have used public transport, but due to its time consuming nature, I prefer to use a car or a bike. I do not want to be late by using public transport

I think that most people fail to leverage on that business because it's a very capital intensive for sure.
