Why It Will Take A Lot To Kill Uber

<p>Uber may have booted CEO Travis Kalanick, but the company shows enormous staying power. By the way, he may be trying to come back. (Flickr.com Creative Commons image by <a href="http://ift.tt/1h8nvCS" target="_blank">Helsenberg Media</a>)</p>

Although it’s been repeatedly shooting itself in the foot, Uber holds a commanding share of what is still a growing market. That’s partly because of its business type: a platform that connects customers with providers. Once you’ve got a critical mass of both signed up, it can be pretty hard to unseat you.

L.A. Limo Company Acquires Longtime San Diego Operation

<p>Creative Commons image by nyphotographic.com, <a href="http://ift.tt/2iQCuEt" target="_blank">license here</a></p>KLTS Limousine has acquired San Diego’s oldest and most renowned limousine operation, LJ Transportation Inc for an undisclosed amount.

Ending 2016 as its most successful fiscal year-to-date after 13 years in business, KLTS makes a bold first move in a plan of many acquisitions to establish nationwide roots. Led by President & CEO Mike Muhsin, this acquisition will catapult KLTS Limousine to the forefront of San Diego’s leading ground transportation providers.

KLTS LLC began as a one-car operation in 2003, after several years of hard work and dedication Muhsin’s operation is now San Diego’s second largest ground transportation provider. Running a fully-functional operation in downtown San Diego for the past three years with an in-house mechanic, detailer, and dispatch office. Our rapid-growth tapping into DMC work, and dealing with the largest chauffeur transportation players in 2016 has forced owner Mike Muhsin to make a bold move to keep growing.

LJ Transportation Inc., operating since 1985 by owner Calvin Steria has established some of the longest relationships  locally in the industry. At 68 years old, Steria, operating for 31 years, has decided to retire from the limousine industry. LJ Transportation Inc. has included 11 cars in the KLTS acquisition. Specializing in corporate and group transportation, LJ passes off an impressive book of business relationships that KLTS plans to strengthen.

KLTS Limousine, led by operations nanager Jessica Swenke, will house 42 senior chauffeurs, and a new fleet of 40+ vehicles with the LJ acquisition. LJ Transportation Inc, will continue to operate under this name at 1460 Morena Blvd., San Diego, which will now be headquarters for KLTS Limousine along with its current location.

“I look forward to combining the potential and quality of service my team and I have built KLTS upon and the 30 plus years of great business LJ holds to this day, I think this merge of old and new will bring KLTS to an exciting place as a serious player in the Southern California market,” Muhsin said in a press release. With this expansion, KLTS plans to concentrate on gaining affiliates, large groups as well as new accounts nationwide.

Ford Transit Ready To Shake Up The Industry “Norm”

NORTH EAST, Pa. — Log onto Facebook and you’ll see numerous “new year, new me” status posts; well, the same should go for your business. No one wants to stay stagnant and settle for “good enough.” One way to break the mold is to purchase a new vehicle and look into new client markets.

This new 2016 Ford Transit Van Limo by LGE Coachworks, Inc. is ready to help you do just that at $84,900 and only 1 mile. 

SPECS, PHOTOS & SELLER INFO HERE

Dan Rocky of LGE Coachworks calls the vehicle, “a fully loaded, yet classy and versatile limousine build.” It’s packed with cool features like RGB/LED lights, a premium front wall with both partition and flat screen, full color rear wall and ceiling, LGE’s premium sound and full privacy package, open back bar seat as the refreshment area to maximize seating capacity, and ultra-plush, classy limousine seating for 14 (DOT) rear passengers.

Rocky concludes by saying “This will be the replacement of the classic stretch for most operators. Not all, we know – but once you ride in it, it will be that way for most.”
