Long Rides is an application that allows UT students to have an affordable and convenient rideshare system. Students are able to receive rides from other students who create driver profiles. These drivers can customize their pick-up and destination locations, prices, and can give a brief description of the ride (number of stops, rules). This allows students to be able to make money while giving others rides and other students to have a cheaper alterntive to pricey ride share apps like Uber, Lyft, and Hitch.
Long Rides was built using Handlebars, CSS, NodeJS, Express.JS, MySQL, Sequelize ORM, and Javascript. With combined use, we were able to construct a functional and convenient website where UT students can get rides and create rides for others. Using a Google Maps API, we were able to display a map of rides from different pick up points and destinations. Long Rides is an application free to use by any UT Austin Students.
This project was built by Andrew Wilson, Erin Lim, Rico Perez, Einstein Dalmau, and Michael Leeser for a coding assignment. We hope to add additional features that allow drivers to create rides from any pick up and destination points and not preset locations that we currently have. We also hope to create a section where students can create posts asking for specific rides on specific dates so drivers who are going to the same location can create a ride.
You can reach Long Rides through the following URL: https://long-rides.herokuapp.com/
- Clone the repository using "git clone" followed by the SSH key or HTTPS
- It will contain various js files, a README.md, css files, and handlebars files.
You will be able to view the website on a desktop web browser once it is deployed.
