Designing the Perfect On-Demand Taxi App
There are many on-demand taxi apps around us today. And all of them are doing a fairly good job. Still, except Uber, no other app has such a huge following today; and even Uber can not claim to have made the perfect mobile application. There are a lot of features that Uber has incorporated, as a part of its “180 Days of Change” campaign, in order to make their app better. These changes are heavily focussed to improve the experience of drivers associated with them, as they obviously form an important part of the business. 
Drivers can now choose from the various trip type preferences. That means, if the drivers aren’t getting many requests, they can choose to make deliveries for UberEats instead. Previously, the drivers could not have set more than 2 destinations a day. That meant, they would work only a specific area on any given day. It would make their commute from home and back easier. But now they have the option to choose as many as 6 destinations a day. Drivers get their long trip notifications. So, if reaching their destination would take 45 minutes or more, they have the option to turn down the ride in case they’re in a hurry. The 180 days are still far from over, but these changes and updates don’t look so bad at all. The people at Uber are clearly working hard to improve their user-experience, specifically the drivers, better than before. LIke, declining a trip will not be as bad a thing as it used to be for the Uber drivers a while ago. Uber is now thinking more about their drivers, trying to be more flexible; and it’s paying off too!
