A network of riders and drivers willing to carpool over long distances and share travel costs does
not exist. The development of HitchHike started because of this unmet need in the current app
market for a rideshare solution that is reliable, affordable, easy to use, and available to everyone.
Current options, including the private market and public transportation, leave users
underwhelmed with functionality and useability. The development team has integrated an app
that is clean and intuitive. Users can post rides that can be used to connect them to various
destinations, regardless of the distance. The application's add trip feature allows users to choose
their origin and destination, whether they are a rider or a driver. The design features lead from
one screen to the next without frustrating the user. Depending on users ' needs, it is easy to
search for existing rides or create new rides. By introducing HitchHike into the market, the hope
is to connect riders and drivers with common destinations for mutually beneficial travel
experiences.
