Successful business idea for taxi companies
In times of world economic crisis people try to save up on all goods and services that are not so essential. Taxi is among those expenses that are eliminated first of all and taxi companies has to withstand huge competition to get each and every client. Yet there are ways to avoid those problems – a unique business niche that will help your company to stand out and win a place in the sun.
„Yellow taxi” is a Moscow’s taxi service that offers clients a whole new concept. Company has a large database of freelancers, who have private car and are willing to earn some extra cash. When dispatcher receives a call, he asks potential client about his wishes regarding the type of car (VIP, standard, economy class), itinerary etc. Then he sends this information via sms to all of the drivers who match the requirements and those, who decide to accept the offer, send back the minimal price that they want for such ride. Dispatcher contacts the client and he chooses the offer that suits him the most. By the way, it’s not necessarily the cheapest one, sometimes clients choose more expensive options, but from a better car owner. Anyway the average price that clients pay for „Yellow taxi” services is up to 40-50% lower then in other taxi companies. Grigory Uspensky, the founder of „Yellow taxi” says that demand for company’s services is high and they already plan to launch some extra services like online order, „season ticket” for everyday rides like home-office-home etc.
I’m pretty sure that this unusual business idea will soon conquer all big cities, so don’t wait and be the first one to launch „auction-taxi” service in your home town!
The best way to tour New York City would be using a limousine service. You get a complimentary bar and the drivers are very friendly. Also, a limo service will typically let you get out of the stretch limousine at anytime to take pictures and just view the sight.
My friend and her husband arranged a stretched escalade, rolls royce, and a stretch lincoln town car for their wedding party. It was really a great experience with the complimentary bar and all the electronics in the limos.
