Client Requirement
The Client from Australia approached Hyperlink Infosystem to make an Android and iOS app for Australia's people. Our client wanted an app that helps people to pick taxi On-Demand and ride their destination in a short time. Due to a busy office schedule and traffic at the road, the client found difficulty riding the vehicle and reaching the destination at a proper time. He realized that several people faced the same problem in reaching their destination. This raised the idea of app development that makes it easy and fast for people to get a taxi and book trusted and skilled drivers through their smartphone. Simultaneously, the idea was to streamline the complete process of finding a taxi by users and giving a job to drivers.

Challenges
Our team had to face various development and design challenges during the process, like a limited development period. The client is required to launch it for people as early as possible.In reality, we cannot merely consider the starting and endpoints to estimate the fair. But, we must track the driver's actual route and then calculate the exact amount considering the distance. And after we did GPS and Google Maps to find the accurate distance.
Our developers faced one big challenge, and that is Animation. If a passenger is looking for any ride and if any car is available, either taxi, economy, business, or any other in a nearby location, a popup will notify the user, and he/she can easily pick the car. Our developers applied some logic on web services for client need and done this easily by using their programming knowledge.
In this competitive era, a user-experience is the must, and for the same purpose, the client needs an app with a user-friendly interface. It has a simple design and easy to complete the booking process in a few clicks. Our designer made an attractive design, and developers made it responsive to clients' needs.
User prefer taxi at their pick up location may be its X location and they need future ride car same for a drop up location and may be its Y location and if the same car will not free then the dynamically economy, business or another car will display to select.
