Frequently Asked Questions

Will riders using the app ever get a “Sorry, all drivers are busy'' message?

Nope! Our algorithms were built to build queues of rides for each online driver. For example, we could have two drivers online servicing 10 outstanding rides requests. Each of those ride requests will get a calculated wait time because our system is deciding which rides to assign to which driver, and the order each will be completed.  

Will the system know the capacity of different vehicle types?

Yes. We’ll create a profile for each vehicle including things like type of vehicle and passenger capacity. This allows the system to assign and group rides without going over capacity for the vehicle.

Do we have to allow shared rides?

Ride sharing can be configured to meet the needs of your operation. For example, we can limit how far out of the way we’ll go to pick up another group, or only fill the vehicle to 50% capacity if the trip is shared by multiple parties. Shared rides can also be turned off entirely if you wish to provide private rides.

Can I still have a dispatcher and offer call in service alongside launching an app?

Absolutely. Many of our clients offer both options for ride requests. Dispatchers use the dashboard to enter rides into the same system that is dispatching app requested rides. The system will calculate a wait time for the dispatcher and automatically assign the ride to the right driver.

We found that in Downtowner. Their technology and operations have been very impressive, and as a partner in our project, we couldn’t ask for more.
