On New Year's Day, 2003, while reading a book about environmental
entrepreneurship, I wondered why hired vehicles such as taxis and
limousines still were based on traditional platforms: Crown Victoria,
Lincoln Town Car, mini-vans, etc. The only innovation of late has
been to make the platforms larger by switching to SUVs. Why are livery
fleets, the largest class of public vehicles on city streets, comprised
mostly of large, inefficient, gas-guzzling beasts?
With that question, PlanetTran was born. The vision: an urban transportation
infrastructure that utilizes the most efficient transportation technology
available. The mission: start a livery service based exclusively on
the hybrid electric/gas Toyota Prius, the most technologically advanced
vehicle on the road.
I hope you share this vision of smarter urban transportation services,
and will make a reservation with PlanetTran today!
