Development of a Nationwide Taxi Booking Platform with Pre-Booking and Real-Time Tracking Capabilities

The client faces challenges in providing comprehensive mobility solutions across rural regions, with existing ride-hailing apps offering limited support and few options for pre-scheduled rides. This results in mobility gaps for end users and inability to secure reliable, prebooked transportation in less populated areas.

• Offer transparent pricing with fixed rates displayed before booking to eliminate surprises.
• Integrate real-time driver location tracking and estimated arrival times to enhance user experience.
• Ensure secure and swift payment processing with instant proof of transaction.
• Create a platform that assigns dedicated professional drivers to booked rides, preventing cancellations after acceptance.

• Nationwide coverage enabling booking in all regions, including rural areas with low driver density.
• Pre-booking capability for scheduling rides well in advance.
• Single fixed pricing model displayed before booking to ensure price transparency.

The project aims to close the mobility gap in rural areas, supporting on-demand and pre-booked taxi services. Expected outcomes include increased ride bookability in underserved regions, enhanced user satisfaction through transparent pricing and real-time updates, and improved operational efficiency due to professional driver assignments. Ultimately, this platform is projected to boost ride volume, strengthen market presence, and ensure reliable transportation across diverse regions.
