Startup idea: students travelling in style
When I lived in PAR (a dorm on the southernmost part of campus), anytime I wanted food, I had to time my travels such that I waited for a bus, took a half hour trip around Chambana, and eventually got to the store. I then had to time my shoppiing such that I could get back to the bus without waiting an additional half hour.
What if I could've paid, say, 15-20 dollars for a stretch limo to pick me up, take me to the store in style and luxury, wait outside while I shop, and then return me to my dorm? I would not have hesitated. I know this is tough for some folks, but for a second, disregard whether or not you think this is possible. Don't worry about whether or not you think it's cost-effective to run or the logistics behind it. I want to know one thing: how much would you pay? Some folks pay hourly for zip cars and others wouldn't pay $5 for a bike (let alone ride all the way there). Some people will pay hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars for a bike and then ride there. Would you pay $30? $15? Would you pay anything?
