Gurus, A relative of mine, knowing that I am passionate about vehicles and am active on TBHP, has asked me fetch some information on starting a bus service between Pune and Satara. He plans to buy a bus and deploy it to ferry passengers between Pune and Satara (the locations are not final yet). He needs help on knowing the following things: What is model on which such services are run? What permits are required to run such services? What are the challenges in starting this? What are the challenges in running this on an ongoing basis? If someone can help with gross math of this model. Any help will be much appreciated. Mods, I just hope I have not breached any rules of the forum.

The Freelander 2 is the smallest SUV from the Land Rover Range. The baby Land Rover first came to India as a completely built unit now though, Tata Motors who own the Land Rover brand have started assembling the vehicle locally through CKD kits imported into the country. The latest move as resulted in a price drop which has made the Freelander 2 a very attractive buy.The base price of the Freelander 2 has dropped to Rs 33.88 lakh due to the lower import duty on the CKD kits. Still, the Freelander is way cheaper than the BMW X3 and the Audi Q5 which are its closest rivals Attached Images
