Rider Tools That Keep Passengers Informed

The mobile experience for trip booking, real-time vehicle tracking, arrival notifications, trip history, and multilingual support across iOS and Android.

Riders book trips, track their vehicle, and get notified when it arrives. Your program gets fewer phone calls, fewer no-shows, and higher satisfaction scores.

The Problem

When riders can't see their trip status, your phones ring

Programs without rider-facing tools absorb every question, every delay, and every miscommunication through the dispatch line.

01

Riders calling dispatch for status updates

Without real-time tracking, every "where is my ride?" question becomes a phone call to dispatch. Coordinators spend their day relaying information instead of managing operations.

02

No-shows caused by communication gaps

When riders don't know their pickup window or get no reminder before arrival, they walk away. Each missed pickup wastes a vehicle stop and throws off the rest of the route.

03

Riders without smartphones excluded from the program

App-only booking leaves out seniors, low-income riders, and anyone without a compatible device. If the only way to book is through a smartphone, a significant portion of riders can't participate.

04

Single-language apps failing diverse communities

Programs serving multilingual populations lose riders when the booking and notification experience is English-only. Riders who can't read their trip details don't trust the service.

What It Does

Everything riders need to book, track, and stay informed

The rider experience covers trip booking, live tracking, notifications, trip history, and multilingual access across iOS and Android.

Mobile app on iOS and Android

Riders download the app from the App Store or Google Play. Trip booking, vehicle tracking, notifications, and trip history are all available from their phone.

Real-time vehicle tracking

Riders see their assigned vehicle on a live map as it approaches. No guessing, no calling dispatch. The map updates continuously until the vehicle arrives.

Trip booking via app or phone

Riders with smartphones book through the app. Riders without a device call in and a coordinator books on their behalf. Both paths produce the same trip experience.

Arrival notifications via SMS and push

Riders receive automated alerts when their vehicle is approaching. Notifications go out via push notification in the app and SMS for riders who opted in. No surprises at the curb.

Trip history and receipts

Every completed trip is logged in the rider's account with pickup and drop-off details, timing, and fare information. Riders can review past trips anytime from the app.

Multilingual support in 11 languages

The rider app is available in 11 languages. Riders set their preferred language once and every screen, notification, and confirmation appears in that language.

White-label branding

The app carries your organization's name, colors, and logo. Riders see your brand, not SHARE's. This matters for community-branded and contracted transit programs.

Accessibility features

Riders specify accessibility requirements during booking, including wheelchair and ambulatory needs. The system matches them to vehicles with the right equipment and capacity.

How It Works

From booking to arrival in three steps

The rider experience is simple by design. Book, confirm, track, arrive.

Rider books a trip via app or phone

The rider selects a pickup location, destination, and preferred time. Riders without a smartphone call in and a coordinator books on their behalf through the admin portal.

System confirms with a pickup window

The platform routes the trip, assigns a vehicle, and sends the rider a confirmation with their pickup window. The rider knows exactly when to be ready.

Rider tracks vehicle and gets arrival notification

The rider watches their vehicle approach on the live map. When it's close, they get a push notification or SMS alert. No guessing, no waiting outside unnecessarily.
