Serve the Rides Rideshare Structurally Cannot Serve
This plan focuses on trips ordinary rideshare will not take — the out-of-town medical appointment where the driver waits four hours and brings the passenger home, or the rural pickup no rideshare driver is logged on for. It covers the real regulatory path in both Kansas (a Kansas Corporation Commission Certificate of Convenience and Necessity, a contested hearing running 60–120 days, or the Transportation Network Company Act route with $1,000,000 primary liability insurance) and Maryland (a Public Service Commission application packet), plus why personal auto insurance and standard rental agreements both exclude carrying passengers for hire.

Built From Real Numbers
The plan builds around the smallest sellable version — one wait-and-return medical run, quoted as a flat trip price with wait time included — and the pricing principle that follows from it: price the wait, not the mileage, because almost anyone can drive 60 miles but almost nobody will sit there for four hours.
It also covers why renting a vehicle does not work for this business (standard rental agreements prohibit carrying passengers for hire and void the damage waiver), and why on-time arrival is the one metric that wins the market, since it's the recurring complaint against every poorly rated operator.
