The two the most common are Public Transportation or Medical Transportation.
Public Transportation (PT): an example of Business that fall under this classification include: Commuter Vans, Small bus or vans used for charter services including casino coach charters, transportation to sporting events and concerts, convention shuttles, weddings and tours.
