In terms of user experience, the application will offer an intuitive interface with features such as ride scheduling, fare
estimation, and personalized safety preferences. Users will have the option to select preferred drivers, set emergency contact
preferences, and customize alerts based on their specific needs.
The backend infrastructure will leverage cloud-based data storage and encryption techniques to ensure the confidentiality and
security of user information. Compliance with data protection regulations will be strictly followed to build trust and encourage
widespread adoption of the service.
