One of the options for doing business is organizing passenger transportation in the city on the basis of permanent routes. But when starting this business, there are specific difficulties that must be taken into account.
Instructions
Step 1
Get the status of an individual entrepreneur or create a legal entity. The first way provides for simplified taxation conditions, so most start-up entrepreneurs choose it.
Step 2
Purchase the necessary equipment, including cars. Rent and buy a parking space or garages. Conclude an agreement on medical examination of drivers on the basis of a medical institution, or hire a medical professional with the appropriate qualifications.
Step 3
Apply for a passenger license. To do this, contact the transport inspection of your city, where you will be informed of the conditions for obtaining your document. Usually, you will be required to demonstrate satisfactory quality of the vehicle fleet, as well as the availability of space for a garage and repair work. In a number of cities, for example, in St. Petersburg, managers will need to attend special classes for organizers of transport companies.
Step 4
Wait for the results of consideration of your documents. The process can take up to one month. When approving your application for a license, contact the transport committee at the administration to obtain the right to service the route. Each city may have its own specifics of such activities. In some regions, if there are several applications, a tender is held, where the administration transfers the rights to the route to the best candidates from its point of view. You may be required to provide reciprocal services, such as providing free or reduced fares for certain populations. Whether or not you accept such conditions is up to you, but your choice is limited by the large role of an administrative resource.
Step 5
Choose the correct route you want to serve. In large cities, the fastest-profitable routes are those that connect remote areas and the metro.
