Abstract
A system anticipates one or more destinations that a user may be interested in requesting. Using parameters such as time of day, day of week, and user device location, the system categorizes users according to current user parameters. Categories, which may be predefined by the system, are organized according to similar destination types. In some embodiments, the system determines variety scores indicative of whether a user is likely to select a destination that the user has requested before or more likely to select a new destination, within a selected category. The system uses the determined categories and variety scores to select a list of destinations to suggest to the user.
