Setup wireless connections in Trains. Target commuters as work force to perform tasks during thier daily commute. We have large number of people with expertise travelling atleast an hour to two hours a day.

For example a IT consultant could be used to answer tech questions posed by someone for a nominal fee.

Someone could research a good Used car. or someonelse can create a spreadsheet showing the pros and cons of different types of Mattress.

The Website which facilitates this can charge a nominal fee

The commuter trains could offer wireless broadband, but there are the normal issues of doing business on public broadband networks, as well as the costs of providing the networking and power terminals for commuters.

Commuters can have thier own dataline.. it cost $50.00 a month. Also most newer laptop batteries last 2 -3 hours without charging. If the returns are good people may be willing to invest

Many people like to nap while commuting. I doubt that most people are looking for increased opportunities to work.
