Building a Business Empire with my Technological System

After revealing the price of the electric bus, the next question came from a journalist curious about the operational aspects of the new service.

"Mr. Reyes, can you tell us about the routes these buses will serve?"

Michael nodded, ready to share the strategic plan they had been developing for the transportation service.

"Certainly," he began, his voice carrying confidently through the terminal. "Our initial focus will be to serve key routes that connect major residential and commercial areas, starting from Cubao, which will be our central hub."

He proceeded to outline the specific routes. "From Cubao, we will extend our service to Taytay, Cainta, Antipolo, San Mateo, and Montalban. These areas are critical for our launch because they represent a significant portion of daily commuters who currently face challenges with the existing transportation options."

Michael explained further, "These routes were selected based on a comprehensive study of commuter traffic patterns, population density, and urban development plans. Our aim is to provide a reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly transportation option for these heavily trafficked corridors."

He then added an important note regarding the regulatory aspect. "Of course, these routes are subject to approval by the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB). We are currently in close communication with them and awaiting final confirmation. Our discussions have been positive, and we anticipate official approval soon."

Michael emphasized the significance of this collaboration with the LTFRB. "Working closely with the LTFRB is crucial for us. It's not just about securing the routes but also about ensuring that our service meets all regulatory standards and contributes positively to the country's transportation ecosystem."

He continued, "We believe that by introducing our state-of-the-art EcoRider buses into these routes, we can significantly improve the daily commute for thousands of people. The combination of our advanced technology and the strategic selection of routes is designed to set a new benchmark in public transportation in the Philippines."

Concluding that, another journalist asked him a question.

"Mr. Reyes, there is some commuters who expressed their gripe on mass transportation with commuters being tightly packed inside like a sardines, how will you resolve that?"

Michael addressed the concern with a firm and reassuring tone, "That's an excellent point and one that we've taken very seriously in designing our service. To ensure the comfort and satisfaction of our passengers, we've decided to implement a strict passenger limit on each bus."

He elaborated, "The EcoRider Bus and Minibus will have a maximum passenger capacity set to ensure that everyone on board has enough space and a comfortable ride. Once a bus reaches its capacity, it won't take on more passengers.

This policy will prevent overcrowding and maintain a high level of comfort, distinguishing our service from the often cramped conditions found in other public transport options."

Michael further explained how this approach would be different from the typical practices of transportation cooperatives. "Unlike traditional public transportation systems, where the objective often seems to be to carry as many passengers as possible, we prioritize passenger comfort and experience. Our aim is to change the perception of public transport from a mere necessity to a preferred choice."

He continued, "This commitment to passenger comfort is part of our broader vision to revolutionize public transport by making it not only more sustainable and efficient but also more user-friendly and respectful of individual needs."

Michael then connected this approach back to the overall mission of Reyes Transportation Co. "By setting these standards, we are not just operating as a transportation service; we are leading by example, showing that it's possible to provide excellent public transport while respecting the comfort and well-being of every passenger."

He concluded, "This is how Reyes Transportation Co. plans to stand out among other transportation companies and cooperatives. We believe that by providing a service that people can rely on and enjoy, we will not only gain the trust of our passengers but also set a new standard for what public transportation can be."

The audience, absorbing Michael's words, nodded in approval, understanding the thoughtful planning and passenger-centric policies that were set to define the new era of public transportation Michael was proposing.

"Now, why don't we take the bus on the next level by actually experiencing it? I invite you all to join me on a demo ride aboard the EcoRider," Michael announced, gesturing towards the sleek, futuristic buses parked nearby.

The crowd buzzed with excitement as Michael led the way, with Juliet and other staff members guiding the guests towards the buses. The attendees were a mix of journalists, industry experts, and local officials, all eager to experience the ride firsthand.

As they approached, the EcoRider buses' doors slid open silently, revealing the spacious, well-lit interior. The guests boarded, finding their seats among the ergonomically designed, comfortable settings. Michael took a seat where he could address the passengers, his face beaming with pride for his creation.

"The EcoRider is equipped with the latest in transportation technology," Michael began, speaking over the bus's soft, ambient sound system. "You'll notice the smooth ride, thanks to our advanced suspension system, and the quietness afforded by our electric powertrain. This journey will take us through a designated route in Cubao, showcasing the bus's capabilities."

As the bus silently pulled out of the terminal, the passengers experienced the smooth acceleration and the comfortable ride. Michael pointed out features as they went, highlighting the augmented reality displays that provided information about the passing scenery and the bus's performance metrics.

"The real-time optimization of routes and speeds is managed by our AI-driven control system, ensuring we avoid unnecessary delays and maintain an optimal travel experience," Michael explained, as the bus effortlessly navigated the busy streets of Cubao.

The ride was smooth and uneventful, with the bus demonstrating its responsive handling and the effectiveness of its autonomous systems in real-time traffic. The passengers were visibly impressed, discussing among themselves the level of comfort and the advanced features that set the EcoRider apart from traditional public transportation.

Suddenly, the bus approached a notoriously rough patch of road, notorious for its deep potholes that often jolted passengers in regular vehicles. The passengers braced themselves instinctively, anticipating the familiar uncomfortable shudder. However, to their surprise, the EcoRider glided over the pothole seamlessly, with hardly a vibration felt inside the cabin.

A murmur of astonishment spread through the bus. "Did we just pass over that pothole?" one of the passengers exclaimed, looking around in disbelief. Others echoed the sentiment, marveling at the smoothness of the ride.

Michael seized the moment to highlight the technological prowess of the EcoRider. "Ladies and gentlemen, what you just experienced is the result of our state-of-the-art suspension system," he explained, his voice filled with a hint of pride.

"The EcoRider is equipped with an advanced active suspension that adapts in real-time to road conditions, ensuring maximum stability and comfort for passengers."

He continued, detailing the mechanics behind the feature, "Our suspension system uses sensors to detect road irregularities and adjusts the dampers instantaneously, mitigating any potential impact. This means that even when traveling over uneven roads or potholes, the ride remains smooth and uninterrupted."

The audience inside the bus was visibly impressed, nodding and whispering among themselves about the unparalleled comfort and innovative technology of the EcoRider.

"As you can see," Michael concluded, "our commitment to passenger comfort and satisfaction is not just theoretical. It's embedded in the very design and function of our vehicles. With the EcoRider, we are redefining what to expect from public transportation, ensuring that every journey is as pleasant and seamless as possible."

The demo ride continued, with the EcoRider showcasing its capabilities and reinforcing the attendees' positive impressions. As the bus returned to the terminal, the passengers disembarked, many of them still discussing the impressive features and the smooth ride, especially over the rough patch of road.

"It was a successful demo," Juliet commented.

"Indeed it is," Michael replied.
