The Time To Think Passenger Ground Transportation Time

Time is a scarce resource. Time is exactly measurable, traceable, organizable. Time can be used and fructified, or it can be let lapse without any noticeable outcome. Time is communicated through numbers, which are points of reference, which are considered and used to schedule or organize daily tasks. Most of the time planning of one’s day is done in a timely manner and is expected to be executed on time. For most people time is an important consideration when organizing their days, and ground transportation is one of their necessary daily activities which requires a timely approach.

Being on time is just as important as it is necessary at times. When showing up for work, university, school, for a professional services appointment, an important business meeting, a friends gathering, a movie, a concert, a sports event. All these events require a person to attend a certain event scheduled for a certain time, which preferably should begin on time and end on time. All these are possible through a thoroughly planned commute, and if external assistance with ground transportation is needed, it also must be on time.

How current ground transportation services are operating and which ones are likely to be on time? 

Passenger Ground Transportation Industry today offers a variety of services that can be accessed when required. These are known as : Sedan, Taxi, Uber, Lyft, Bus, Train, Above Ground and Underground Metro Systems, or other locally available options. Depending on the location; whether it is a rural community; a small, mid-size or a big city; there will be a variety of choices of locally operating ground transportation providers.

When using communal transportation options, such as Train, Bus, Above Ground or Underground Metro Systems, there is little or no influence on timing it out, as it is being provided by the local municipality and is operating on a fixed schedule. Under normal circumstances, it will end up being predictable and according to the set schedules.

When using personal transportation options, such as Sedan, Taxi, Uber, Lyft, or other locally available options, it is necessary to consider the fact that human factor comes into play. Each personal passenger ground transportation unit is being operated by one person. That person is in control of the vehicle and the timeliness of it’s operation. Although that person receives information and instructions from the company or the broker they are associated with, when it comes to time orientation, time coordination and timeliness of their operation; personal capability, personally made decisions and the physical or mental condition of the person at the time of transportation are among the main influencers which determine whether the vehicle will be on time at the pick up location and will arrive on time to the destination.

When making a reservation for a personal vehicle pick up, the more time transportation provider has on their hands to manage the reservation, the better. Short notice passenger ground transportation services like Taxi, Uber, Lyft, etc… are susceptible to the human factor and road circumstances at the moment of the reservation.

When a person calls in, uses a website or an app to make a short notice reservation, there is a chain of hands that information needs to go through, in a fairly short period of time. For the end operator, or the driver to take appropriate action and be at the requested location on time, there must be a perfect system in place, there must be full attention and focus from the people involved in the process on the task at hand, and there must not be any circumstance which might cause an unexpected change to happen, there must not be a delay in the processing time of the information, a miscommunication of the information or a disruptive communication chain. All these and possibly other factors will lead to a potential delay, a sudden need to adjust the plans and reschedule the time allocated for the set tasks of that day.

The environment is anything but predictable. It is in constant movement and change. It is fairly certain to state that there is a lot of uncertainty in relying on passenger ground transportation services, especially when considering the timeliness these services are being provided. Even in the currently technologically advanced world, all things being considered, there is a high chance of passenger ground transportation not to be provided at the requested time.

When making a reservation for a personal vehicle pick up through a Sedan Service Provider, most of the times it is prearranged well in advance, it is scheduled according to the person’s needs, it contains the exact time and itinerary requirements, it is in accordance with the transportation provider’s company business model, and it gives the transportation provider enough time to make sure no one is missed and be at the requested location on time. Consequently, there are less chances of a potential informational miscommunication to occur, the transportation provider’s company is better prepared to handle the reservation, plan their operation and execute it in a timely favorable fashion.

Reality is far to be perfect and is less likely to be functioning on exact time basis, but when considering passenger ground transportation, Sedan Service is the option to choose when time is an important consideration of the day, as Sedan Service business model is better prepared to handle time sensitive transportation. Companies which provide Sedan Service transportation to their clients tend to stand firm to their operational moto ” On Time Every Time”.

Time of transportation from the pick up location to the destination

To be picked up on time is only one part of the transportation formula, the transportation itself from the pick up location to the destination is also a very important consideration. Traffic, road conditions, climate, driver’s physical and mental states at the time of the commute, unexpected circumstances, all these factors determine the quality of the transportation and influence the length of time it will take.

If the public roads which are used for transportation, or the climate at the time of transportation can not be controlled or changed, the choice of transportation and the driver can be.

An experienced driver who is familiar with the local road network, wo is well knowledgeable with the vehicle used for transportation, who knows and respects laws and rules related to the operation of a motor vehicle is more likely to have good time management skills.

Companies which receive short notice requests for passenger ground transportation such as Taxi, Uber, Lyft or other brokers, do encourage their drivers to respond to the request and enroute as soon as possible, be at the requested location as close to the scheduled time as possible and arrive to the destination as fast as possible.

Time and the cost of transportation

As soon as anything unexpected happens, modern world being inflexible, planned activities have to be readjusted and that always comes at a certain cost to the one who is not on time.
