Due to recent regulatory relaxations, there has been a surge in ride-sharing services, with many individual drivers joining the industry. My husband and I decided to start a side business using our used private car for ride-sharing operations. Most of our requests came from restaurants and bars, so we focused on safely transporting intoxicated passengers. Our income increased more than expected, and we've been enthusiastically working hard together as a couple to make our ride-sharing venture a success.
