How to open a passenger route

One of the options for doing business is the organization of passenger transportation in the city on the basis of permanent routes. But when you open this business, there are specific difficulties that must be taken into account.

Instruction manual

1

Get the status of an individual entrepreneur or create a legal entity. The first way provides for simplified taxation conditions, so most beginner entrepreneurs choose it.

2

Buy the necessary equipment, including cars. Rent and redeem a parking space or garages. Conclude an agreement for a medical examination of drivers at a medical institution or hire a qualified medical professional.

3

Get a passenger license. To do this, contact the transport inspection of your city, where you will be informed about the conditions for receiving your document. Usually you will be required to demonstrate the satisfactory quality of the 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 enterprises.

4

Wait for the results of the review 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 for 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 her point of view. You may be required to provide reciprocal services, for example, providing free or reduced fare for certain categories of the population. It is up to you to decide whether or not to accept such conditions, but your choice is limited by the large role of the administrative resource.

5

Choose the route you want to serve correctly. In large cities, the most profitable routes are those that connect remote areas and the metro.
