android application, chat service
Since our school is far from the nearby subway station, students have hard time to get to school after arriving at the station. There are three options they can choose: a walk, a shuttle bus, or a taxi. Even though taking a taxi is expensive, some students decide to take a taxi when they are in urgency, such as being late for class. In response, our service starts with the question, “How about matching students who want to take a taxi from the station to school?”
This application provides a chat service for users who want to take a taxi to get to school but want to save their money by a shared ride. Up to four of the nearby users will enter one chat room, and then our application offers a simple Dutch Pay service assuming that one student has paid for a taxi.
