Description

UChicago RideSmart offers unlimited free evening & late-night rides on and around the University’s main campus. We’re a ridesharing service that’s smart, easy, and reliable.

With a few taps, book a ride in the app and our technology will pair you with other people headed your way.

HOW IT WORKS:
- Easily discover and navigate multiple types of transit in your community!
- Book a ride by setting your pickup and dropoff addresses, and indicating if you’re riding with any additional passengers.
- You will be given an estimated time when the vehicle will arrive upon booking your trip. The estimated arrival time of the driver will be automatically updated as your vehicle makes its way to meet you.
- When your driver arrives, please promptly board the vehicle.
- There may be others on board, or you may make a few additional stops along the way! You can track your ride and share your status in real-time from the app.

SHARING YOUR TRIP:
Our algorithm matches people headed in the same direction. This means you’re getting the convenience of a private ride with the efficiency and reliability of a public one.

RELIABLE:
Track your ride as the driver is on their way to you, and while you’re in the vehicle too.

OUR VEHICLES:
RideSmart is wheelchair accessible! If you require a wheelchair, simply toggle on “Wheelchair accessibility” in the “Account” tab of your app! When you request a ride, you’ll be matched with a wheelchair accessible vehicle.

Great Service

Only suggestion is to add a timer. Otherwise I have been enjoying the service and the app! Keep up with the great work

Please support simultaneous login on multiple devices!

So that if one's phone dies, one can still see the ride status on a spare phone or cellular tablet. Having no access to the info would make it much dangerous at night.
Also, searching up the destination is not easy. The search function is not intelligent. For instance, "Red Line Garfield" doesn't work; only "Garfield Red Line" works.
