This thesis proposes a flexible platform to help improve employees' mobility through ridesharing applications. Since ridesharing is a familiar adopted but complex taxonomy. The topic provides a solution to an existing common requirement: commuting from point A to point B via shared rides. Some areas lack frequent public transportation, which means that the time interval between transport is very high or varies. It results in long waiting hours, long traveling time, and higher cost. Ride-sharing may be one of the most useful solutions when there are no other means of transportation to a specific location but generally, it is not the only option. This study was carried out using Action research methodology to develop solutions to a problem. The study began by asking the employees to share their viewpoints and envisage suggestions to tackle the problem. The purpose was to hear it from the participants, detect the core factors considered for the service design, and compare it with the public transport during the town hall sessions.
After the brainstorming part, the study turned to the development of the actual ride sharing service and mobile application. As part of PiggyBaggy's transition from crowdsourced delivery to ridesharing, the software team performed a comprehensive code update. The outcome of the thesis is a tested, sustainable ride-sharing web application with backend servers for users to access the ride-sharing service through their smartphones or computers.
Additionally, the application includes some characteristics that are essential to the service. Using Web Development Tools and Libraries and dynamic backend solutions that was developed to make the application simple and easy to use. The solution tested in this Thesis on a trial basis opens up an alley to further elaboration, refining the service design, and a real-life service that will most likely be launched in the near future.
