It is a commercial recreation business so the goal is to be profitable. Once the bus begins to pass the break even analysis and profit has been made. Money will be put back into the business to upgrade the bus with such amenities as wheel chair access, global positioning, satellite (GPS), bathrooms, intercom, etc. However, a lot of details are involved to make this business work and the following feasibility study states each step’s significant role in the process.
