That would be a badass feature, as it would create a new area of business.
I dont see why in the whole new Eden it would not be possible to transport a capsule as passenger.
Maybe it would require some skills and some mods as usual.
CCP you could even create a new class of ship from there! 
I like this idea so much, please CCP implement this now

Either this would be a business area which pays really bad, since you will not be able to ask for high prices for your service or otherwise barely anyone would be paying millions for a transport when they can just buy a shuttle for a few k.
I could only see this being a profitable business idea if the autopilot would get removed from the game. |

Ok that would not create a huge business but STILL creating a taxi/bus for capsuleers would make sense in terms of immersion, and what you can do in new Eden.
That would allow to bring some expensive clones in 0.0 or any other case when you want to bring many ppl/clone to some point fast. |

The transportation of clones is something I would love to see.
I can't quite place my finger on why, but the transportation of an active clone just seems a bit off.

Would be neat but how can we be sure the driver brings us to our destination and not going in circles around Jita to grief us from being able to fly ourselves hehe
But I'd be happy to see that or interbus transport stuff to get moved around.

would only work for moving jump clones. Since CCP can't add a mechanic which would prevent players to log in. For example if you move another player and you just don't deliver him to the destination or are afk cloaked somewhere in space and the player wants to log in.

Nope, that would require additional coding. And my guess that in this case it would be non-trivial amount of coding, rather low-level at that. |

And then when you d/c and the player is "accidentally to purgatory", what then?
There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency. |

Even StarWars: Galaxies had multi-passanger vehicles many, many years ago. Not to mention *the other* game where ships can be operated by 1-20 people.
Yet EVE devs have "no content" mindset. |

Well go and play the other game then. im pretty sure the Devs are more concerned with other things right now than giving the ability for players, to Troll people.

it would be pretty easy to realise.
Just be able to make a collateral for the transporting job. So you can cover your expenses if you get podded due to bad service.
The collateral should be stored on an interbus account and will be paid out if the passenger got podded.
So you could make a collateral of 3bn if you for example transport a person with a snake set in his head. The transporter can surely demand a higher fee per jump since his cargo is very precious. |

Ok, so I claim I have a bunch of expensive, high end implants, but I really don't.
I put up a high collateral transport option to a specific place.
My friends are waiting, and kill you on the way there.
I scoop the collateral, and I laugh.

I think it's a great idea, would be nice for people wha have bad standing but want to get into Empire space. Concord could also do scans to check if you have criminals on board. That way there would be a general risk to transport those ppl. The fun you could have, as some ppl here already mentioned. Kidnapping, griefing unloading the pods in a belt in .0 XD |

I've always thought Carriers should be able to carry pilotted ships, so arguing for other ships to carry pods does strike me as just as useful - and you could get around the obvious (and hilarious) issue of kidnapping by allowing said pilotted ships/pods to undock themselves (obviously not allowable while in warp, or if you did allow it, have the ejected pilot careen off in a random direction at warp speed for as long as it takes to deccelerate (anyone whose ever jumped through a titan bridge as the cyno died and been spawned in the sun knows what I'm talking about here)) |

Oh, it certainly would not be.
I'm merely pointing out reasons why the person I quoted should be thrilled such a thing as they suggested should exist, doesn't.
Primarily because people like me would be damned happy if it did exist. The tears I could harvest from that in a single month would sustain me for the rest of my misbegotten life.
