When a rider selects a driver, they are presented with a confirmation alert and that trip is saved to their home view where they can then review the trip/cancel trip/update trip. Riders have the ability to view previous routes.
- Driver View Interactions (Nick) Drivers have the ability to save a default route and view previous routes, the same as a rider. When a driver begins a trip, they will be presented with a list of nearby riders based on the number of available passenger seats. Drivers have the ability to decline assigned riders prior to confirmation. That rider will then be replaced in the list with another nearby rider – ensuring full capacity is maintained.
- Both Views Interactions (Cameron) Once riders or drivers have been booked, each rider or driver is able to "Start Trip" once they have begin their trip. Once started, the user can "End Trip" and the trip will be archived. The user will be presented with a ‘Trip Completed’ notification that contains a brief trip analytic regarding money saved on the trip.
