This is kind of a joke, but imagine this scenario:
If I illegally immigrate to USA, how much I would make just to take a ride with people?
I believe I could charge US$20 per trip. One trip early morning, go back by public transportation (it is just 10 miles!), and get another ride. The same at rush hour in the other direction. It would me about 80 * 22 = $1760 each month. Nothing bad. Better than a minimum wage of $1,150 per month.
This is a kind of job that exists in a lot of places: https://gizmodo.com/10-transportation-related-jobs-that-only...
