1) I am someone who cares a lot about people. I always put others before myself and try to make an impact in people's lives. I am someone who is very creative, considering I am a Visual Art Studies major. I see Go-Go Rides playing a role in my life for the better. It would help all UF students tremendously, this way I can impact every single person that uses my service.
2) With Go-Go Rides I am offering an easier way for students to get around more efficiently all around campus. I would solve unmet needs by facilitating getting to class on time. It would really benefit everyone on the UF campus with a Gator 1. Anyone with their Gator 1 would be able to rent bikes all around campus for a low cost.
3) I am offering my service to anyone on campus with a Gator 1, specifically students. Students who are not so good at managing their time or maybe just have bad luck with the bus system.
4) There is no reason why any UF student would not appreciate my service. I think it would be very beneficial to all students. They would care for my service because it would be provided at a very low cost and it would be very easy to use as well as accessible.
5) I think that I am very driven and my ability to help others and be involved with the community is special.
I definitely think that all of these elements fit together. There might be something like this that already exists but not many know about it and it is not something used by many. I would like to make it popular and make it an actual service that all students are aware of. I do not think that there are any aspects which are weak or out-of-joint with the others. I am very eco-friendly and care just a much about the students at my university. I wish to make an impact all around.
Feedback memo:
- Students appreciate the idea
- Students hope to see this idea be put into effect
- Some students believe that this type of business or service might already exist somewhere on campus but it is not well known or used so I should go for it!
- Unmet need for many on campus
- It would solve many problems for students
Cool idea, Isabella. My business idea for a better SNAP on campus stems from the same dissatisfaction with current transportation options as yours does. Not only that, but your idea gives people exercise and is more environmentally friendly. Your idea is similar to ZipCar but is improved by the fact that you don't need to find a parking space. Also, your name is catchy and fantastic. Check out my posts at intro2ent.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteHello, Isabella
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post, and I certainly agree that facilitating campus-wide transportation is a great idea that is in high demand at UF. I have seen systems like this throughout Europe (Ex. London Barclay-bikes) and and Latin America (Ecobici in Mexico, D.F.), and I find that they're great, as long as the pick-up and drop off stations are spread throughout the area in a thoroughly though out manner. I think that these systems may even be able to be covered through one's UF services, if the University saw fit to pay for it. With a swipe of one's Gator 1, one could be off on their bike, and if a bike were to not get returned on time, then it would just be charged to the student's account. Students would only need to opt into the system by going through a short instructional webpage, and e-verifying that they accept the legal ramifications.
Overall, you have a great idea! I linked my blog below if you would like to take a look at it. My post was about my idea for an improved undershirt design, so while it wouldn't make a large impact on the entire UF community like your product would, I hope it could make a lot of people more comfortable.

Hi Isabella,
ReplyDeleteI think this idea is very good and solid.
Since students are able to mount bikes on the RTS buss, they can have an easier time in terms to travelling to further and more specific locations on campuas
I think the next detail you need to focus on is how to maintain the entire bike system. I have heard about its challenges when implemented in cities.

Hey Isabella,
ReplyDeleteI first want to start off with saying I love the design of your blog. I also really like your idea. The name is super cute and catchy. The concept is also environmentally friendly and a great way to support UF's mission to stay sustainable. Being a people person is a great quality for an entrepreneur and being able to pitch your ideas. I wish you the best of luck in your venture.

It is always good to see people who genuinely care about the success of other people. One of the hardest things about college culture is that it can cause us to become very cutthroat. But the important thing is a lot of great leaders held a deep sense of what they were passionate about. Keep up the good work.

I believe transportation is also the product of good infrastructure, so I believe to be a vocal proponent of improving infrastructure in the United States. Keep up the good work.
