The app will show your pick-up address and your drop-off destination. SmartRide DRT is a rideshare service. That means SmartRide DRT users heading in the same direction may also be picked up and share the ride with you. Sometimes, that may mean you are the only person in the vehicle, and at other times, it could be full. It does mean you are expected to meet the vehicle when it arrives, so you dont hold up a ride for others. Our drivers can only wait a few minutes before they must head to their next pickup. All our friendly drivers are SmartRide DRT trained and have completed comprehensive background checks. If you need extra assistance, they will be happy to help. SmartRide DRT is offered by Earadat.
