allow Microbus import with less TAX,utilization factor would do next,links of microtransit shared microbuses vans servies

Micrbouses with Eleven or more seaters including drivers seta may be allowed to import with normal tax like just 15% VAT. Thus people will be encouraged to buy microbuses and due to human minds rationalization aspect, more people would go for communal move with van or micrbuses.


There are already some shared vane like staff bus or staff microbus servic for people. But here the people should go for monthly contract and they may be familiar with each other.

Chariot in San Fransisco

Chariot Transit is a San Francisco-based startup offering a local van service that mirrors several of the city’s crowded commuter bus routes.

Chariot is one of a few startups in San Francisco aiming to plug big holes in the local transit system. And unlike the car service network companies, Uber, Lyft and SideCar, Chariot so far seems to be operating without any pushback from the San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency, commonly known as “Muni,” although Chariot essentially is a competitor. Chariot is also avoiding the so-called “1099” or contractor business model embraced by many service-oriented startups. The company employs all its drivers and leases white vans with the logo “Chariot” displayed on the side

Chariot costs only a bit more than Muni, and is far less expensive than taking an Uber, especially during rush hour, when Uber’s surge pricing can kick in. A Muni ride costs $2.25, or $68 for an unlimited monthly pass. Chariot charges $4 or less per ride, or $93 for a monthly pass, which gives you priority boarding if there are not enough seats left for all the riders waiting at a stop.

Chariot CEO Vahabzadeh saw huge gaps in San Francisco’s transit system when he first came to San Francisco from New York in 2010. He grew frustrated with the packed buses that would leave many riders stranded, and noticed on occasion some passengers would walk far from the bus stop closest to their home, just so they could have a better shot at getting on a bus.

So he had an idea for a private shuttle/van service that would make stops along the same route as one especially overcrowded line, similar to the licensed jitney vans that shuttle commuters in under-served parts of New York City’s outer boroughs. The Chariot stops are clearly marked. Customers sign up with their smartphone and buy individual rides or monthly passes.

“It’s a great service for an attractive price,” said Charlie Pratt, who works at Merrill Lynch in the city’s Financial District, as he boarded a Chariot van. Pratt has been using Chariot for five months. He said the vans arrive about every seven minutes during rush hour, so he never has to wait long and can always check when the next van is coming on his phone.

Vahabzadeh says he could see the service expanding in other cities beyond San Francisco. “Even in wonderful transit cities like New York and London, you still have massive transit gaps,” he said.





Another transportation startup, Loup, covers similar urban territory as Chariot. Loup counts Twitter Inc. TWTR, -0.62%  co-founder Ev Williams’s new fund Obvious Ventures among those who invested $1.5 million in the company. Loup though, does not employ its drivers, but says its drivers are professionals, who undergo a “double-layer background check.” Like Uber, Lyft and Sidecar, Loup also has a set of requirements for the cars or vans its drivers can use, if they are to be approved as drivers.

“A big differentiator of Loup is that we’re not another transportation company with shuttles or buses focused solely on commuters,” said Abtin Rostamian, co-founder and chief executive of Loup, in an email. “Instead, we’re a logistics company building a dynamic local transportation system that will become an alternative option to public transportation.
