How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I started working with a transportation company, and saw how tuff it was for single parents and families to get their families from Point A to B. And how much the taxi companies were charging the parents to get their kids to school. (Which was too much money?)So I thought, I could find a better way of providing affordable transportation services for our community.
