## Abstract of On-demand Car Sharing App

Based in Virginia, the USA, our client wanted to develop an on-demand taxi app like Uber that allows people in Virginia to book a cab from one place to another with just a few clicks on the screen. Considering his requirements, we designed and developed ride-sharing app that made it easy for Virginia people to book a ride anytime and anywhere.

This online taxi app solution comes with the most unique concept of ride-sharing, so people who are daily driving from the same route for their office or any other work can share their availability in the driver’s app and take rides of the same route. For example, if one user is daily going from point A to point B route and he wants to share his ride with another person, who is also going in the same direction, he can share his availability in the app.

Moreover, this custom taxi app solution is completely safe and secure as it performs intensive background checks on drivers before they drive for this taxi app solution. To run background checks, this cab booking app uses a third-party company to ensure that drivers are meeting the state and national safety standards and protecting both of their drivers and riders.

## Our Client and His Requirements

Based in Ashburn, Virginia, USA, our client is an entrepreneur and running multiple companies in USA. Being an entrepreneur, he noticed that a lot of people in Ashburn are still facing problems while booking a ride or taxi from one place to another. Observing this problem, he came with an idea to develop a taxi booking app for people in Ashburn. So, he started looking for the mobile app development company that has expertise in taxi app development.

While searching on Google, our client found us and instantly approached us with an idea to develop taxi app like Uber. When he contacted us, he was very clear about his idea and had a clear vision for his taxi startup or business. He wanted to develop one such taxi app that connects riders and drivers in Ashburn so that riders don’t face any problem while riding from one place to another.

## How We Proceeded Ahead

So, our business team without wasting any time prepared WBS (Work Breakdown Structure) to give project deliverables and work that needs to be completed in a project.

We suggested our client to develop a complete car sharing app solution, including rider’s app, driver’s app, and admin panel for both platforms (iOS and Android). We prepared a complete list of features that we were about to integrate in the app and got it verified by our client. Impressed by the list, he asked us to proceed ahead.

](https://wp.spaceo.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ride-sharing-app-builder1.png)

## Unique Feature We Have Integrated Into This Ride Sharing App

The most unique concept of this taxi app solution is ride sharing for general people. Yes, this feature allows people to share their ride with riders and earn some money between going office and workplace.

To give you more clear idea about this feature, let’s take an example. If one user is daily going from point A to point B and he wants to share his daily rides with riders, he can easily do it using driver’s app. He just needs to enter his route and daily timings and the rider, who is going in the same direction, can book a shared ride with him.

Considered as the most useful feature for general public and riders, this feature helps rider to save money whereas the person can earn extra money by sharing a ride.

## Designing the Ride Sharing App

When it came to designing such a sharing and carpooling app, we designed it keeping certain criteria in mind.

![User-Friendly Navigation](https://wp.spaceo.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/User-Friendly-Navigation.svg)

### User-Friendly Navigation

When it comes to a transport app, it is very essential to create intuitive functionality. The people booking cabs are always in a hustle of reaching somewhere, so we had to keep the features seamlessly integrated with each other so that they can navigate easily in the app.

![Simple User Interface](https://wp.spaceo.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Simple-User-Interface.svg)

### Simple User Interface

To develop commute apps Lyft, Curb, Juno, we had to design a simple UI that can clearly state each and every feature and in-app navigational directions. So, we decided to design the most minimalistic and simpler app design.

![Enhanced User Experience](https://wp.spaceo.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Enhanced-User-Experience.svg)

### Enhanced User Experience

For better ride sharing services like Uber and Lyft, we decided to enhance user experience with particular features.
