Systems and methods for providing user control of alternate routes are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system receives a ride request from a user that indicates a drop-off location. The networked system identifies a current location of a user (e.g., a rider) and determines a plurality of routes from the current location of the user to a drop-off location. The plurality of routes is displayed on a user interface of a device of the user. In response, a selection of a route from the plurality of routes is received by the networked system. The networked system then causes presentation of a driving route corresponding to the selected route on a device of a driver and the device of the user.

User control of alternate routes

Systems and methods for reconciling a conflict between a rider-selected route and driving preferences of a driver are provided. In example embodiments, a networked system accesses driving preferences of the driver, wherein the driving preferences include preferences derived from past selection of routes by the driver. The networked system detects the conflict between characteristics of the rider-selected route and the driving preferences and determines one or more routes from a location of a vehicle of the driver to a destination based on the driving preferences. The network system reconciles the rider-selected route with the driving preferences by replacing at least one segment of the rider-selected route with at least one segment from the one or more routes to generate a reconciled route. The reconciled route is then displayed on a user interface of a device of the driver.
