I'm a little confused.
* They operate a single service once a week on a round trip from SF to LA that departs SF 11pm Friday and departs LA 11pm Sunday? And they have no published timetable beyond Dec 2020?
* The bus has twenty total berths and each one costs about $100? Five of the berths feature the "Cloud Bump Cancellation System" thing that's being talked up on the ridecabin.com/product page?
* So do they have one total bus?
* They are selling about $4k per week of bus tickets? Does that cover the operating expenses of their very nice looking booking system and the regulatory obligations associated with being a bus company?
* What happens if something happens to that one bus -- does everyone get some other kind of bus ticket or what? The terms of transport seems to say ( https://www.ridecabin.com/termsoftransportationservices https://www.ridecabin.com/termsoftransportationservices ) that they'll try to buy you a bus ticket if their bus isn't working. So ... if the bus is broken down you probably don't know until 11pm and then, how long does it take to get an alternate bus ticket? Where do those backup buses leave from and what timetables do they typically use and how do you get there?
- ghouse 7y agoThey're still building out their second generation bus fleet.
- mherdeg 7y agoDoes the same driver do the Friday trip south and the Sunday trip north? Do they get paid for their time on Saturday too? Does Cabin buy them a hotel for Sat/Sun? (Ha, do they park the bus somewhere and sleep on it?) Is it the same person every week or do they have a bunch of drivers? Is this a full time job for the driver or, what else do they do during the week / how do they get health insurance and pay rent?
