9A Testing the Hypothesis 2

Interview 1: My friend in Boston: Recently, he started to use Uber instead of using his car. He is tired of getting into parking war all day. He said even though this kind of app has been appeared, he would just use Uber.

Interview 2: Classmate- He loves my idea. He is tired of finding out parking space in school. However he was curious about our school policy. He does not think college will help this idea.

Interview 3: The guy who lives next door- He has his own car, of course faces parking problem. He liked my idea, but he thinks it would not change anything, cause parking spots would be filled anyway, anytime, anyplace.

Interview 4: Colleague in San Francisco- He has his own car. The thing I heard from him was interesting. There is a start-up that helps parking in San Francisco. He said it is kind of valet parking, someone comes and gets the key and find the place to park instead of the car owner. However, they have faced safety issues, like stealing something inside of car or steal the car.

Interview 5: College Student: He does not have his own car. He said in Gainesville, RTS is working pretty well, so he does not really need this kind of application. Of course, if this application appears on app store, he said he would use it.
