Design challenge - Wunder
2018. Wunder is building a new form of public transportation for the world’s most gridlocked cities specializing the mobility solutions for the future and the shared economy providing a full tech stack of new urban mobility solutions: carpooling, ride-sharing and smart shuttles, and free-floating car and scooter sharing.
Traditional on-demand bus services for rural areas were implemented since years. Customers called the reservation centre and buses arrived 1 hour later to pick them up. No online or mobile booking was available. Moreover, there was a lot of manual effort required to dispatch the ride request to the driver and vehicle. Imagine a flexible and decentralized shuttle service without any centrally controlled dispatching or management. The service is only operated by shuttle drivers themselves. There is an app for customers to request rides and another app for drivers to accept these requests and find the fastest way towards the customer. What would the perfect driver application look like?
