Abstract
A system can receive a request for transport from a computing device of a user while the user is riding a transit vehicle of a transit service, the request specifying a start location and a destination for the user. The system can determine an estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the transit vehicle to an arrival location that corresponds to the start location. The system can determine an ETA of a vehicle to the start location based on location data of the vehicle, and determine that the ETA of the vehicle to the start location is within a threshold amount of time of the ETA of the transit vehicle to the arrival location. The system can select the vehicle to service the request for the user, and transmit a transport invitation indicating the start location to the computing device associated with the vehicle.
