Transport Passengers
From Rise: The Vieneo Province

Overview
A fun and easy way to make money in the universe is to transport passengers. There are always newly arrived colonists at Easydock and they want to get to the city Deois or other Colonies that want to hire them. The only time that the laborer are worth moving is if there is a Objective to move them.
Every airport with a control tower, and passenger terminal will have people that want to take vacations. You will need a passenger PODS which has accommodations (passenger service units, proper seating and restraints, environmental systems, gravity generators, etc).
Some vehicles will also allow you to place laborers in the crew cabin, such as the C-2 Dasher that you start with can hold one extra person.
Those seats are called jump seats and are for non-paying passengers.
Jump seats per vehicle type
- C2, C2-A: 1 seat
- T-120, T-121: 1 seat
- A-4: 1 seat
- T-19: 1 seat
- W-6: 6 seats
- E-10, E-11: 6 seats
- P-13: 0 Seats
Trips to and from all locations have a calculated time, the shortest is an hour. If it takes an excessive amount of time, your passengers will not be required to pay you under United Stellar Republic law. Worse yet they will give you bad reviews and that will affect your ability to attract more passengers.
If you log off with passengers in vehicles or PODS that are under your control (or ownership in some cases) those passengers can only survive without food and water for a few days.
Passenger demand and fares
In the picture below you can see how each destination has loads and fares listed.
An example would be let’s look at the top left box that has numbers.
If we wanted to fly from 3M Comstosk to Alphaville I can see that there are 18 passengers each offering to pay 251 cr. So a total of 4,518 from that you would have to pay for fuel, vehicle rental, alliance dues, and landing fees.
This list is live and updates every time someone picks up and drops off passengers.
You get to this list by going to the portal and clicking ticketing.
Loading the passengers
While sitting at the airport you look at the Intermedia and find Passenger Terminal.
When you click Load you are prompted to enter the airport ID.
