　　When choosing a transport for a business trip, convenience should come first. I mean, other things being equal, you should choose the one that takes your minimal effort. In business world, time is money. You don’t want delayed departure time or unexpected stop-over on the way. At the same time, it is not uncommon to refund a ticket or change a one-way ticket to a round trip ticket, if the transportation company can deal with these things effectively, undoubtedly we will choose it. Secondly, cost-effectiveness is also important. If a transportation company can offer us excursion pass, why not make it our choice? Thirdly, the quality of the transportation should also be concerned. A good rest during the trip can make you in a good shape to seal the deal with your business partners. Lastly, if the transporter can offer some package deal such as hotel reservation, it would be a wise choice.
