OVERVIEW

While Boston is known to most people for its rich history and lobster rolls, for the local Bostonians it is the inconsistent public transport options and horrendous traffic conditions. As a city with a strong corporate presence, highways are therefore clogged up by large groups of commuters with identical destinations.

tripBuddy is a carpooling platform that aims to make carpooling a feasible solution for daily commuters. Adopting carpooling would reduce the amount of cars on the road, further reducing the time and stress of commuting.

RIDERS / DRIVERS

Users of tripBuddy can be broken down into two roles: Riders and Drivers. Since users can potentially spend equal amounts of time as either role, a tab system has been implemented on the home screen in order for a seamless transition between the two roles.

HOME EXPERIENCE

Once rides have been booked by either riders or drivers, each ride will be displayed individually as panels within their corresponding tabs. At a glance, users can access essential information about the ride, with additional details of the ride easily accessible.

DAY OF RIDE

Once a driver has initiated his ride, the home experience for the rider will transform into a map-centric view. This transformed interface will allow riders to be able to access the status of the ride, the current location of the driver, as well as detailed itineraries with estimated times for pickups and drop offs.

DAY OF DRIVE

The driver’s home experience will transform into a navigation-centric interface once they have initiated scheduled rides. The upcoming pickup or drop off will be put into focus on screen, with a simplified itinerary displayed below as a preview for the driver.

ACTION PANEL

Once the driver gets within the designated pickup or drop off location, action buttons will appear to allow drivers to confirm the action, notify riders, or indicate a no-show if necessary.
