Problem

Users can face problems when they want to book several rides for quick errands. This, in turn, may throw them off their entire trip plans and cause them to wait unnecessarily. As a result, travel plans are left incomplete at times, there is more waiting time, and driving costs get higher, too. Also, other times, users may completely skip running errands when they are outside their homes due to the hassle, which in turn affects their daily productivity and the way they experience ride-sharing.

Solution

• •Ride booking, purchasing groceries, and continuing the journey can be done through a single booking only, eliminating the need for multiple switches of rides. The entire process flows naturally from start to finish.
• •Staying at the stores (30 minutes for $27 or 1 hour for $45) while the driver waits outside, users are given a stress-free time of doing their things without worrying about booking another car and carrying those groceries at the same time.
