Well Guys !! This gives us an IDEA for starting a Taxi Courier service for STC members. We might be able to outprice the established companies.Somebody spread the word around the business that uses the local courier services and ask that we are added to the list and Voila ..we are in business. biggrin

Macdonal delivery used my taxi before to send to their customer home. Normal road fare.

You can see! Delivery by taxi is cheap & hassle-free & convenient
Flag down fare needs to go up to $5.

express service courier is $40 and above . Normal courier service is abt $20. So I think this service is worth it. But the problem is communication. How are we going to communicate to do this service ? There are two choice . By sms or walkie talkie. Do we have to charge the extra like normal booking and advance booking. I think we should coz our price is too cheap as to compare to normal courier service . I think this can work. I definitely want to participate if this project fly off.

I agree with you. The feeling is a little different, maybe more relax...
