Regional Coach Operator
Run an intercity coach company with 70 buses linking four cities, a university and the airport. Set fares, schedule drivers and decide which routes to grow against the rail line, the low-fare buses and the car.
Your company runs coaches between four cities, a large university town and the regional airport. Commuters buy monthly passes, students pack the Friday and Sunday services, and leisure travellers book a few weeks ahead and compare everything with the train and the cost of driving. The team decides fares by passenger group, how many drivers and coaches to run, which routes deserve more frequency and which should be cut, and how much to spend on Wi-Fi, comfort and the brand when a low-fare operator is selling $1 seats to fill its buses. It teaches the economics of a scheduled network — load factors, the cost of a half-empty departure, and how frequency itself wins passengers — and how a team prices a seat that is worth nothing once the bus has left.
