Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus for recommending alternative destinations in ride-sharing services are provided. A computing device implementing the method may start with receiving a trip request from a user device. The trip request may include an origin and a destination. Then the computing device classifies the trip request into one of a plurality of trip purpose categories based at least on the origin and the destination of the trip request, the rider's information, and a machine-learning classifier trained to predict the one trip purpose category of the trip request. In response to the one trip purpose category belonging to a preset group of trip purpose categories, the computing device determines one or more alternative destinations for the trip request, and sends to the user device, the one or more alternative destinations.
