Shuttle Service

So I’m going to be driving from my hometown to Denver and then flying from Denver to Chicago where I have relatives. Then I’ll be driving straight north to watch the best nfl football team in the world play a game this fall. The price of an airline ticket from my town to Chicago is $419. The price of a ticket from Denver to Chicago is $118. So it’s a lot cheaper to drive to Denver which is a big hub airport and then flying to chicago. That got me thinking….

I’m wondering if I could start some sort of shuttle service from my town to Denver which is eight hours away. It would have to be cheaper than them driving so I’m thinking, buy a van or one of those short busses that hold at least 10 people and charge about 40 bucks one way. Fuel costs I looked up would be close to 100 dollars one way with one of those ford econoline vans it would be more with the bus. I always ask myself with my business ideas would I pay for it? I think I would just as long as it’s cheaper than driving down there myself. And I think when you factor in long term parking the cost of fuel for yourself and wear and tear on your vehicle it would be cheaper. \

Throw some feedback my way and let me know what you think.

This sounds like a great idea, the only thing I'd be worried about is the fuel cost. I would first conduct a market survey....go out and ask people in your area if they would pay for something like that. Found out how frequently they fly. Find out how much less it would cost them to fly from denver to somewhere other than chicago.

you could make some good money possibly
