This means that almost 27.5 percentage of the revenue generated does not go to the person who does the job. In contrast, with the private transfer service; a portion of the 27.5% can be passed to the customers.
- Most of the Private transfers are of longer distance such as Airport transfers, Cruise Transfers, Business Transfers, Events Transfers, and Tour Transfers etc. So the driver does not have to wait with uncertainty and the wastage of time is significantly reduced.
