Design Specifications
The Little Rider application uses GPS to connect passengers to nearby drivers. Users can choose between different options for their ride: basic ride, Blue BODA, Comfort, Shuttle, LadyBUG, Comfort+ and GOODS. Moreover, females can request for female drivers for their safety.
The application estimates the cost of the ride after the user enters the pickup and destination locations. On reaching the final destination, the application outputs the actual cost which the user pays in cash or through the local cashless mobile payment system.
