More Information
Summary:This disclosure covers methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that analyze sensory data from a client device to determine a user is traveling on a mass-transit vehicle and to dispatch a transportation vehicle for pickup of the user at a pickup location corresponding to a mass-transit station. To coordinate matching a user with a transportation vehicle, the methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems determine an estimated transit time of a user to one (or both) of the mass-transit station and the pickup location and select a transportation vehicle positioned to arrive at the pickup location by the estimated transit time.
