6 Unique Features for the Best Ride-sharing App
Driver’s app
Share a ride
This is the most unique feature of our rideshare app. Using this feature, a user can become a driver to earn a little extra money. To explain it the best way possible, we will illustrate it in this way: Assume that you go to the office from the same route every day. If you want to share this ride with another rider who wants to go to the same destination, then you can easily do it with this feature.
Route selection
This feature is like a boon for drivers as well as riders. The rideshare apps for drivers has two different options for the route to reach a destination. The driver can choose whether he wants to use Google Maps and Waze Map.He can check which is the shortest route or which route has the least traffic. This saves the time of both the parties involved.
Rider’s app
Pool or private ride
Being one of the best rideshare apps, this app has a feature for the riders to pool a ride with another user. This will save the rider’s money yet helping the driver to earn for two rides and saving his time to drop two customers.
Schedule a ride
To add to the convenience of the riders, we also recommended this feature to our client during ride-sharing app development. The riders can schedule a trip as per their preferred time and date. This way, they can easily book a ride in advance so they don’t have to suffer during rush hours or peak times. They won’t be late to work or an event ever.
Admin Panel
Heat maps
This is the second most unique feature that we integrated into this taxi booking solution. The admin panel has the features to set the fares of rides.Along with it, the admin can also check the heat map on the desktop panel. The authorized person can check all the areas, where the demand for rides is high. They can also view demand-based areas that hire for rides.
Manage rides and reports
The admin can easily check the useful information about the riders and drivers (including his background in case of a driver). He can keep a track of the pending, on-going, cancelled and completed rides.In fact, he can get a complete report on the total rides, riders, drivers, earning and the total number of trips so far.
