Company Description

New York City to Washington, D.C. is the premier mass transit market in North America, yet our travel options are a series of pain points that we pay entirely too much for. At the high end, the hassle and inconvenience of the airline shuttles are rarely justifiable for this short of a trip. The trains can be overcrowded, face disruptions, and have customer service that leaves much to be desired. At the low end, discount bus companies provide an attractive price point, but the positives end there.The Jet is disrupting the intercity travel space by offering the leading affordable, first-class travel option. Features include:The HoverSeat™, the world’s first motion-canceling passenger seat, patented and designed by Bose engineers (signed exclusivity agreement on tech)An onboard attendant serving light food, drinks, beer & wineAn upscale restroom; streaming-fast HiFi WiFi™Advance seat reservations and a seamless boarding processPriced from $99 one-way, city-center-to-city-centerIn our first year (since Nov '21), The Jet has become one of the most talked-about luxury travel options between DC and NYC. Featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, and on Good Morning America, we are aiming to take the intercity travel market in the northeast corridor by storm, even causing an aviation journalist to remark, “this could ruin regional airlines.” We have averaged 82% ridership in our first year (since March '22) and routinely sell out on weekends. With only 4 buses in our fleet, demand is literally outstripping supply.Our business model has passed due diligence with a quorum of accredited investors. Ticket prices range from $99 to $199 one-way, with an average seat price projected to reach $145 by the end of 2023 (currently $135). With 19 seats per coach, we have a 55% operating breakeven point and a 20% net profit margin projected.
