Prices go higher every year, especially the cost of gas. Transportation is one big factor that makes the household budget difficult to cover all your expenses. Here are some guidelines to help you save money from transportation:
1. To save money, you must always check on your vehicle regularly. A well-maintained vehicle can get you out of trouble on repair expenses. You can actually spend only $50 on maintaining your vehicle and save up to $800 on repair costs in a year. You can even save more if you do the maintenance yourself and not bring your car into an auto shop.
2. If you want to save more money, it is recommended not to buy a new car. The value of a car depreciates automatically when you drive it out off the showroom of the car dealer shop. You may buy a car that is used at least one year. It will save you thousands of dollars to the actual worth of the car when it was new. The owner will then pay all the depreciated value of the car.
3. Save money on buying used cars by comparing the prices of the car dealer and the actual price on the list of the used car dealer ads. To ensure the car that you buy is well conditioned, you may ask for the help of a mechanic to check if the car is good enough for its price. It is better to buy a used car from a person you know and trust. This will help you make sure that you have a good deal in acquiring a car.
4. Try to compare gasoline rates. You may refuel your car with the gasoline station that offers the lowest price on gasoline. You can even save more by pumping gas yourself and use the lowest octane in your car’s manual. It is also recommended that you pay cash than credit cards that charge extra rates. Do not forget to check the gas cap if it is tightened to ensure no gas is spilled out.
5. Always keep your engine tuned-up and have your tires inflated to their desired pressure to save you more money. A well-maintained engine consumes less gas. Keep your car’s trunk clean to save more fuel. Heavy loads in your vehicle can consume more fuel because of the excess weight it carries.
6. Try to limit the use of your car on your daily route. You may take the bus or the subway to save gasoline. You can also save time by ignoring the traffic that you encounter everyday on the streets.

Later this street in the bustling capital city of Jakarta and the more dense with the vehicle. This is because the diversity of human activity and the flow of goods to meet the needs of human life. Transportation is the main factor supporting the activities of the business or the other because without the infrastructure of transportation may not reach the people who dituju with efesien. Therefore then, business transportation can be equated with the staple food business without transportation because there will not be any activity.
Bus transportation is a business that provides great potential to benefit. However, in the transport business itself divided for more in-kind and segmentasinya. Bus transport in type divided into land transportation, sea transportation, and air transportation. However, because this blog pembahasannya about the business small and medium scale (SMEs) so that only the potential business land transportation, this is due to capital and management can still be done on a small scale.
Bus transportation for my own land into several types, namely:
1. Business of a private transportation.
2. Business of transportation of a semi-private.
3. Business of transportation of a semi-public.
4. Business of public transportation.
Business of a private transport I mean here is as a pinch between good business school children or employees. Business such as transportation between the pinch this level have a high certainty of business because the people who use the services this is usually the form of subscription per month. So at least within 1 month can be earned income. But not the means of transportation business model like this does not have a problem. To plunge into this business the business must have acquaintance with the people inside the company or school that will hire transportation service between the pinch. Because this business is a business trust which means that companies / schools will provide a recommendation to use the transportation service business, if already known track recordnya and the competence and responsibilities. My message is do not ever start this business if people did not have acquaintances in the company / school that will use your transportation services.
Transportation business is diversified and semi-private I mean here is the car rental business. This business can be spelled out at the time because private cars are rented then other people can not rent a car. Income from the rental car just because arouse minimum $ 50 per day. But business is still terkendala with the control of the rented vehicle. To avoid the car was blurred by the tenants should be included in the rent car driver from our own.
The third is the type of business travel. Business travel is itself divided into 2 types, namely conventional travel where passengers are picked up from their homes and transported to the destination. This type of travel that has strength in terms of service, as passengers who want to the destination can be transported directly to the objective without having to replace vehicles, and also makes it easier for passengers who do not know the location where the objective can be quiet until the field goal. Travel of this type is usually for a short distance to the city, which usually far exceed the Jakarta-Bandung. Potential of this type of travel is still open but the passenger peluangnya obtained very little for the day-to-day work, but many will be on holidays.
Business travel to the two types is the point to point. This type of travel is travel that offers the services take passengers from the place On the dismissal of the city that have been determined by the travel company to halt dikota next. This type of travel services have advantages in the accuracy of the time, because every day off to vehicles. From the business income can be spelled stable because passengers need this service every day, is not limited to public holidays only. However, if you should want to try this type of travel destination should dipilihlah big cities only passengers with the target student / students and employees.
Business is the next type of vehicle bertrayek that have meaning only through permission jalan-jalan/daerah have been determined and the charge is determined by the Government. Businesses such as this that is divided into 2 vehicles bertrayek in the city and bertrayek vehicle outside the city. Bertrayek vehicle in the city such as Kopaja, Metromini, microbus and similar. While the general business vehicle bertrayek outside the city, such as inter-city buses between provinces (AKAP). This business has a very slight advantage because terkendala Fuel (BBM), but rates can not be determined with increased self (must follow the rules). In addition, people who use it are people who are very sensitive to the increase in tariffs, so that it is difficult to raise profit. However, business has excess can survive in the long time.
Then you specify the option to stay, but that must be observed is that the business of transportation maintenance vehicles that require the possibility to take a percentage of the cost of high cost compared to the other, and also need to find drivers who can be trusted.
