Starting a bus in the dr
There have been people on DR1 before asking about getting into the transportation industry (buses, trucking, taxis, etc). The answers are different depending on what you're talking about. Your original post refers to both 'bus' and 'buss'.
So... wouldn't it have been easier for you to simply clarify if you want to register/run a bus or a business?
:: cfa makes silly clown face ::
As long as you're sure what you're getting into with the associations...... you definitely need to be sure you know what you're getting into.......
so let's go back to the question of the person who started the thread, right?
to go into the bus/transportation/taxi/transfer business and such is alone not possible with a single vehicle.
there is a minimum amount of vehicles required by law(more on land than on the water) to get the permit to be a Biz.
if you are what i guess,
sorry if i understood the short and details missing OP wrong, a single person/vehicle new transportation business owner,
that would mean you need to hook up with one of the local existing transportation agencies.
you pay yourself into the Biz to be a member of a legal and existing asociation, you buy a "Route", which give's you the permission to do specified transportation/taxi/transfer services, for that you usually pay a fixed entrance fee to the club plus a monthly basic fee to the club and of course a %%% of the incoming/booked/transfered/yaxied aso money and you can be sure that your car/Van/Bus will be watched 24/7/365, not to protect it, just to make sure you report each 'ride' with the association so they get the bucks.
your OP sounds to me the way that you do not have any experience on dealing with that kind of business here on the Isle.
i can't speak for the whole Island,
but from my home here on the East Coast i would say "forget such ideas before you get shot".
that not been just some talking,
i am involved in transfer/taxi/excursions business here,
since over 14 years.
it is not Boy's Toy Game,
it's big bucks business and on some spots in a Big Men's Way handled.
