Well scoop should consider three things when it comes to Ride or Drive mode in their matching algorithm:
- Ride or Drive doesn’t make sense when the returning home as it will always be a ride mode, for a driver who got selected as a rider on the way to work, so the demand for scoop will be more leading to an increased detour time and distance with more than one people scooping in the carpool.
- There might arise a situation wherein a user will never be matched as a driver, so even though that person has a car that person will never get to drive.
- Incentives!! People would prefer driving and getting incentivized than just riding and paying money.
One way to encourage drivers to take ride/drive mode will be to give discounts as a rider or give more incentive as a driver during ride/drive mode.
This will make sure scoop will have reduced churning of drivers, due to no matching, and improve drivers detour quality.
