Transporting people

[Julian-Dumitrascu]

We'll discuss with you what you want to achieve.
When you want to travel, we can help you plan a trip. We'll agree with you on what is required.
We can estimate benefits and costs, e.g. environmental costs.
When you want us to, we can conduct a benefit-cost analysis that shows which carriers meet your requirements better.
Irrespective of what vehicles will carry you, you can order with Sol transportation for all the parts of your trip.
It seems that people travelled first by land, then by sea.

1. By air
   We seem to have tried to lift vehicles as early as 400 BCE. We've got this far:

And even lower.
It's difficult to see a long future for aeroplanes. How are we going to power them? We're running out of petroleum.
Still, when you prefer travelling by air, we'll arrange for that.

2. By sea
   Because ships are slow, people travel by sea on holiday.
   Because cruises are criticised more and more strongly for their costs and some people might see ships as death traps since 2020, we don't expect transportation by sea to have a great future.
   Still, you can discuss with us your thoughts of travelling by sea.

3. By land
   Transportation by land seems preferable in many cases.
   3.1 The longer the trip, the more one might prefer travelling by train.
   Trains might become more important. People are building railways.
   3.2 Travel by road seems the most flexible.
   3.2.1 What if we used more trams?
   3.2.2 We can fill orders for such transportation ourselves.
   Our drivers must be able to carry people safely according to applicable laws.
   We make sure that our vehicles meet all applicable requirements and are reliable. To the extent that you want it, we use vehicles with electric motors.
   To communicate better than other teams:
   -- we make sure that our drivers are well, e.g. rested;
   -- we train them to communicate better than other drivers; e.g. they are friendly, but not tiresome;
   -- you can communicate with our communicators during your trip.
   You can agree with us on a trip schedule that you like more. Example: You travel 2,000 km. We break for lunch and using toilets. We stop overnight, so that you all eat and sleep. When you arrive you don’t have to go to bed, neither do you feel sick; you can start doing what you’ve planned.
   You can pay using Sol Financial Services. You don’t need cash to trade with us.

4. Offer for Romania
   We compare this service to others provided across Europe by car, bus, and train (trains for reference only). These prices cover transportation, electrical energy, and insurance. It seems that we can serve you better than many European operators of taxis and buses.
   We can make similar offers for other European countries; we adapt those according e.g. to our costs and the prices of other carriers. (We can discuss using such services on other continents, too.)

5. Comparison between Sol and FlixBus
   We consider e.g. FlixBus before offering a similar service.
   5.1 If we use recliner chairs for trips longer than 12 hours, it’s easier to sleep in the bus; rides in such buses are more expensive than in buses with regular chairs and less expensive than rides with overnight stops.
   5.2 We’d like to avoid charging you more when you happen to take along more luggage. This would be another reason to prefer Sol over FlixBus. (You can use our goods transportation service when you prefer to travel light.)
   Flixbus vary their prices similarly to air travel companies. I’ve never liked such instability; what about you?
   We’d like to minimise changes in our prices, so that it’s easier for you to plan.
   Why punish you for booking later? People like being treated fairly and paying similarly to what their fellow travellers pay.
   5.3 One has to pay FlixBus additionally for insurance against missing a connection.
   With Sol, you need no such connections: we take you to the building you want, unless it’s across a sea.
   5.4 They use Axa insurance limited to several countries.
   Sol Insurance can insure you for when you spend time in any country.
   5.5 FlixBus have mistakes in their English copy.
   We try to edit our copy until it includes none.
   They have a poor rating, so book your seats with Sol!
