A smart, scalable, and intuitive ride-sharing web application connecting drivers and passengers through real-time technology, transparent workflows, and a seamless user experience.
RideShare is a full-stack ride-sharing platform engineered to offer a secure, eco-friendly, and efficient urban transport experience. With dedicated portals for both passengers and drivers, the system handles end-to-end ride coordination — from booking to payment — while ensuring real-time updates, seamless user onboarding, and scalable architecture for future growth.
Built using MERN stack, Razorpay, and scalable MongoDB schemas, it features optimized backend logic, real-world event handling, and robust user state management.
- 🔐 Dual Portal: Separate login flows for passengers and drivers
- 🧠 Smart Ride Matching: Real-time request broadcasting to nearby drivers
- 📍 Location-based Filtering: Ride creation and joining based on seat/time/place
- 💳 Secure Payments: Integrated Razorpay checkout and signature verification
- 🚦 Dynamic Ride Lifecycle: Auto-updated ride states (
scheduled,ongoing,completed) - 📈 Admin-free Coordination: First-come-first-serve driver assignment logic
- 📊 Scalable Design: Cleanly separated schema logic and controller responsibilities
- Login via passenger portal
- View available rides (if seats are free)
- Choose to:
- Join an existing ride (instant join)
- Create a new ride (requests broadcast to all drivers)
- Await driver acceptance
- Ride begins → passenger pays after drop
- Status auto-updates as ride progresses
- Login via driver portal
- Receive broadcasted requests (first driver to accept gets the ride)
- Manage scheduled/ongoing rides
- Start ride → collect payment → end ride when complete
- Frontend: React.js (Vite), Tailwind CSS, Google OAuth
- Backend: Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, Razorpay SDK
- Database: Mongoose models for users, rides, drivers, ratings, payments
- Auth: JWT cookies (secure, scoped by portal)
- Payments: Razorpay Orders + Signature verification
