BMShare Ride: Implementing a Ride-Pooling App for Enhanced Community Transportation

Abstract: Our project focuses on developing an Android-based ride-pooling app using Android Studio, Java, Firebase, and Google Maps API. The app allows users to create and join pools for convenient and efficient transportation within the BMSCE college community. The backend is implemented using a Golang server we built, Firebase Firestore, and Firebase Authentication. The app features user authentication, map-based selection of start and destination locations, pool creation with customizable options, real-time ride status updates, payment integration, feedback system, and various API endpoints for pool management.
