I had a friend who wanted to start a coin counting by mail business. The customer mails the coins in a flat rate package and then you count them and in exchange the people get a gift card to a local restaurant.

    Yep it’s public transit for a reason. If it was profitable there would be private transit running the same routes just like how UPS/Fedex run parallel to USPS

      And, where there is high density and big demand, that is precisely what happens. I live directly across the river from 57th street in Manhattan on the Jersey side. There are dozens and dozens of NJ transit buses at the stop on my corner during commuter times. Still—it’s not enough; therefore there are also tons of minibuses run by private companies. Where there’s demand, it gets filled.
