Cupertino, California – While there are plenty of carpooling apps that cater to regular daily commuters, busy professionals continue to get stuck standing in long taxi line-ups, or paying premium fees for a limousine. Well, that’s a situation that developer Mustafa Mun found unacceptable, but instead of suffering or complaining, he did something far more productive: he created the solution and called it Hot Rider! Designed exclusively to serve the needs of busy professionals in various cities around the world, Hot Rider! innovatively fills the carpooling app gap. Here’s how it works:
* Professionals download the no-cost app from the App Store or Google Play
* Next, they log in directly from their LinkedIn account – which is a welcome feature that saves time
* From there, they identify whether they’re a driver (i.e. they’re offering a ride), or whether they’re a passenger (i.e. they need a ride)
* Drivers publish their schedule and identify their route using the app’s built-in maps
* Save routes for quick, easy access in the future
* Passengers browse various possibilities to find one that meets their schedule and destination
* If there is a potential fit, drivers and passengers communicate directly with each other in real-time through the app’s built-in messaging panel
* If the fit is confirmed, the carpool takes place and the previously agreed-upon fee is paid
* When it’s all over, drivers and passengers have the opportunity to rate the experience for the benefit of other professionals in the Hot Rider! community
In addition to this straightforward user experience, what helps Hot Rider! stand out is its clear and well-organized interface. Unlike some carpooling apps that have somewhat of a “video game” feel, one look at Hot Rider! instantly reveals that it is designed by busy professionals, for busy professionals. As such, everything is intuitively laid out and precisely where it’s supposed to be.
“Busy professionals shouldn’t be shut out of the carpooling app revolution, but that’s exactly what’s happening,” commented Mustafa Mun. “And that’s why I created Hot Rider! With ease and simplicity, it addresses the needs of professional carpoolers in busy cities”.
