9A – Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2

Bus System Opportunity

Interview Summary

This week I interviewed 5 different people who seemed to have the unmet need buy did not support the idea of a bus system. In these interviews, I talked to soldiers, families and DOD civilians. The people I spoke with either did not currently have a mode of transportation or were unable to travel due to financial reasons. In one interview, I was told that they wouldn't be able to afford a bus ticket every day. In the second interview, I was told that they simply do not like public transportation. In the third interview, I was told that they do not currently have this need because they get rides from friends and it isn't currently an issue. In the fourth interview, I was told that they would still be worried about making it to work on time if they were to rely on public transportation. Lastly, I was told that even though they only have one vehicle, they haven't had the need to get another or use public transportation.

I believe that all of these reasons can be changed when developing this bus system. If this mode of transportation is on time and reliable, many of these reasons who not exist.
