UberBoat: taxi marittimo a Istanbul

Figuriamoci se Uber, che non si รจ fatto fermare dai tassisti, poteva farsi spaventare da un po’ d’acqua… E infatti da quest’estate a Istanbul รจ disponibile il servizio Uber anche attraverso il Bosforo. Non รจ il primo servizio dell’azienda americana (o sarร  il caso di chiamarla “azienda diffusa”?) in acqua – era giร  stato attivato un Uber-traghetto a Boston –ย  ma รจ la prima volta che il servizio รจ continuativo e non limitato alla bella stagione.

Istanbul ha due caratteristiche troppo appetibili perchรจ Uber se le lasciasse scappare: un traffico congestionato su strada e una popolazione giovane molto tecnologica. Messe insieme le due cose, ecco nascere il servizio: non รจ molto economico passare il Bosforo con Uber, ma d’altra parte รจ veloce e da San Francisco hanno sempre sostenuto che i prezzi dei loro servizi li fa il mercato. Prendere una delle veloci barche associate a Uber da un molo centrale della capitale turca fino al punto di sbarco vicino all’eroporto costa circa 150 Euro; le tratte piรน brevi costano sui 15 Euro.

Le alternative, dicevamo, sono piรน economiche, ma la congestione del traffico sui ponti che attraversano il Bosforo รจ rinomata (Istanbul รจ costantemente in vetta alla classifica delle cittร  piรน trafficate al mondo, con un tempo medio di permanenza in macchina superiore al necessario che va dal 58% al 109%!), e il tempo รจ denaro…

Qualsiasi cosa si pensi dei servizi offerti da Uber, bisogna riconoscere che รจ un modello altamente flessibile. A terra Istanbul si presentava come un mercato difficile, data la presenza di Bitaksi, un servizio completamente basato su applicazioni per trovare, chiamare e pagare i taxi ufficiali della cittร  turca. Si guarda al mare, quindi, puntando sulla velocitร  per conquistare Istanbul, ma affidarsi a privati come per il servizio a terra poteva essere rischioso. Uber ha quindi avviato una collaborazione con la societร  armatrice turca Navette: non sono privati che arrotondano lo stipendio con i propri mezzi di trasporto a portarvi su e giรน per il Bosforo, ma professionisti.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
