Abstract
A transport facilitation can identify a mass egress area within a given region and receive a pick-up request from a rider device within the mass egress area. In response to receiving the pick-up request, the transport facilitation system transmit a match code to the rider device. The system may then receive an indication of the match code from a driver device, the indication signifying a pick-up event between a requesting user of the rider device and an available driver of the driver device within the mass egress area, and record a state for both the rider device and the driver device indicating an initiation of a ride to a destination of the requesting user.
