Abstract
A system can receive location information from computing devices of drivers to determine current positions of each of the drivers as the drivers operate throughout a geographic region. The system can transmit data to a computing device of a user, causing the computing device to generate a map interface including (i) a map indicating a current location of the computing device of the user on the map, (ii) an estimated time of arrival for a particular vehicle to rendezvous with the user, and (iii) a user interface feature operable by the user to request transport. Based on the user configuring the user interface feature displayed on the map interface, the system receives a transport request specifying a pickup location and selects a driver to fulfill the transport request.
