"SLC27-W3 | A One-Day Street Journalist: Business at the transport station."
Hello friends I hope you are great today imam here to take part in another interesting learning challenge "SLC27-W3 | A One-Day Street Journalist: Business at the transport station."
When it comes the transport station in every place there are different shops such as food, fruit and vegetables and groceries stores, as it becomes the attractive place for people as daily many people used local transport for movement. That's why the business at these point is more good and profitable as compared to other places.
If I talk about myself I used public transport more commonly as I stopped I saw the stall of fresh vegetables I preferred to buy vegetables from there though sometimes they charge more but it's ok they are standing in such harsh weather to earn little for their families we should support them to grow more and being contented.
1 Which transport station in your city did you visit? Review a business there.
I have visited hiace bus station and it has also rikhsaw stand, it's on the main Rawalpindi road beside the Almas hospital and 500 meter from my home, I daily used this transport for movement I reviewed the food stall there and it's the finger chips, samosa, tikka and rolls in URS daily menu's along with chutney.
Sometimes I bought tikki and fries from him as he sold fresh and hygienic food moreover quality and quantity both is good. Its near to my home and I liked to support these young guys who are suffering and earning for their family.

He is running this stall from past 4 years and earning good daily, when I asked him he is happy from his earnings he replied yes I am happy and can support my family in a good way.
He was under matric boy the age group of 18 years ago and when I asked your stall is near bus stand and also rickshaw stand down you have any edge he said yes my customers are more and my selling is much good compared to other places as people liked my food due to fast service and quality.
02 Have you ever bought anything from these stores? Show pictures + videos and show their prices.
Yeah I often like to buy fries, tikki and samosa for myself and fries for my kids. I have shown in the video today I have bought 10 samosa as my friend was visiting my house. Tikki were short he said due to Friday I didn't make it because I will close the stall due to Friday break.
Although I normally made these stuff at time but sometimes we just wanted to eat this taste just for the sake of convenience and might be Allah give the responsibility to support them and their little businesses.
The prices are 50 PKR for fries/ 2 Steem
Karachi smosa 20 PKR / 0.75 Steem
Large samosa 30 pkr/ 1.15 Steem
Roll 20 PKR/0.75 Steem

03 Why are passengers more attracted to these shops?
I have observed it's on the main bus stand and it's very convenient for the people because when we are travelling we wanted to eat something specially when we have kids with us they wanted to eat anything which is looking outside that's why people are more attracted to these business and food stalls which are nearby bus stands and rickshaw stands and might be the reason that business is more good as compared to the point which are not close to such a stations.
Due to convenient people love these products also these products are not such much expensive as the samosa and fries we can bought in price of 50 PKR which is about 2 Steem, so any body can afford it, I saw many beggars were buying from him in rupees 10 and 20 pkr and he doesn't refuse to them as he was seeing the rush which he had in his stall.
So the main reason of attraction was convinence, affordable and also good taste along the fresh and hygiene products, they become attraction for others.
04 Are these businesses creating employment opportunities for local unemployed youth?
Yeah, these are becoming the source of employment for other people because as the rush increases they have hired the staff to pack the products and deliver them to the customers but it depends on the business.
As in case if food stall he appointed little boy who washed the dishes and serving to customers today he was no leave due to Friday.
So such businesses are good in sense they offered employment to the needy people though he has hired this young boy in 3000 which is about 100 Steem approx, but in present era this is enough for little boy who are ready to support their families for the sake of two times bread only.
It's all about my today post.
I would like to invite my friends @m-fdo, @jannat12 and @iqrarana786 to take part in the challenge.
