Overview

People will always want to be somewhere else. Although passenger liners are available, these only ferry between high economy systems (called Hubs). This leaves plenty of opportunity for the owner of a small interstellar craft. Even on routes that are served by regular passenger liners, there will be passengers with terrible sense of urgency or need of privacy that only a private vessel equipped with passenger cabins can provide. By fitting a passenger berth, you can accomodate a single passenger. Berths will provide all luxury creature comforts and an independent lifesupportsystem with an airsupply for 5 days. Should catastrophy strike, most version can function as a lifeboat, in a limited fashion.

The Space Rickshaw Corporation has been higly succesfull in filling the niche market of cheap, fast, in-system passenger transportation by exploiting the Frog interplanetary shuttle.
