Central Michigan Student’s Taxi Business Goes Beyond the Ordinary

MOUNT PLEASANT Mich.

When Central Michigan University student LeRoy Eifler got sick of waiting for taxis, he decided to do something about it.

Instead of complaining to the local taxi companies, he thought it would just be better to start his own. And we’re not talking about your average taxi cab either.

Not unless you call an average taxi cab one that you can write graffiti all over, or one that offers a “chuck-it-bucket” for a dollar.

“Everything I do is geared toward fun,” Eifler said.

“When people have a fun ride, they are less likely to jump in (another) car with a drunk friend.”

Eifler’s business is named Hoop-T LLC. and caters mostly to college aged students.
