Cooperative Transportation Campaigns: Pick Ups

Cooperative Transportation Campaigns.

Pick Ups.

Pick Ups are essentially grassroots/underground campaigns precipitating the formal establishment of Fair Share Maxi Taxis, amidst the transformation of metropolitan area vehicular transportation systems into metro rail transportation systems. Within the Pick Ups campaigns, participants maintain respectively ordinary driving routines. Yet, within these respectively ordinary driving routines, participants offer rides to commuters who are waiting at bus stops. The drivers offer to take passengers to the connecting bus stop or metro stop, or to the general point of destination where the passengers are respectively travelling. Rather than providing the full service of a private taxi, the driver simply transports the passenger closer to the passenger’s destination, without significantly deviating from the driver’s predetermined course of travel. Pick Ups provide drivers, passengers, and the general public with an increasing introduction of the concept of Faire Share Maxi Taxis and the general concept of Cooperative Transportation and the significance within Metro Rails. Within the Pick Ups campaigns, there are certain protocols that are beneficial; this includes: only offering to and/or accepting rides from people with whom an individual is sufficiently comfortable, concentrating the offering of Pick Ups during daylight hours and/or rush hour commutes (according to the driver’s comfort), affixing a sticker with an appropriate symbol on the front, passenger side door to signal to would-be passengers of the driver’s connexion with this UIFAN Pick Ups endeavour, providing written material on the concepts of Pick Ups and Cooperative Transportation, and additionally. Drivers are advised to abstain from soliciting monetary donations from passengers. Whilst Pick Ups may only provide a slight benefit for passengers (with respect to commuting waits and/or monetary expenses), there is the consideration that the increased practise and awareness of the Pick Ups campaigns establishes increased trust and cooperation within the Faire Share Maxi Taxis endeavour and the progression of Cooperative Transportation.
