Water Taxis Interviewee Research This Person Has Essay

Water Taxis Interviewee Research

This person has been involved in water taxi projects before, so should be a good source of information about getting such a project under way.

I know a little bit about the topic in terms of having seen these types of projects before. Several cities have them and they seem quite popular. I also know that Miami is a water-oriented city with Biscayne Bay, and a lot of canals. Putting these two things together is the genesis of the water taxi idea.

Primary Questions

O1. How would you describe the challenges in getting a water taxi venture running?

O2. What is the role that the public and private sectors can play in a water taxi project?

O3. How have these programs been received in the past, by the public and by politicians?

What is the current ridership of your water taxi program?

C2. Is your water taxi program profitable?

C3. Do you think a water taxi program could work in Miami?

Reasoning Behind Asking These Questions

The open-ended...

I do not know the answers to these questions, and there are doubtless going to be variables I have not considered, which is why I want open-ended answers. The latter are key things to consider when starting a project such as this.
Anticipated Responses to Questions

I think that the interviewee will appreciate these questions, and answer them as best as possible. I expect honesty about the first three, and these questions are why I am doing the interview.

Secondary Questions

I would want to know more about how to bring a project like this to fruition. I had mostly asked about obstacles and roles, but there are a lot of factors, for example operational factors, that I would want to ask if given the opportunity.
