WU-Ride is a ride sharing application that will pick up a passenger for traveling from one point to another. The idea of sharing rides should be a practical and straightforward objective that will allow everyone to be able to use this application, which must be user friendly, practical and professional. The ride must be comfortable for the rider/passenger regardless. The experience must be rewarding for all of the passengers.
