Discovering the Driver App



RideSuite's fully-integrated driver app is packed full of useful features and options.

The RideSuite Driver App is fully integrated with the RideSuite core platform, offering a seamless experience for drivers. New jobs are assigned from RideSchedule and automatically updated if there are any changes. This integration allows office-based staff to track driver locations in RideReact and communicate with drivers via the integrated chat feature.

Schedule View

The Schedule View presents a list of rides for the day, showing key details like:

  • Route: The planned journey.
  • Customer: Passenger details.

Drivers can tap on any ride in the list to view more detailed information.


Calendar View

The Calendar View displays the driver’s schedule in a familiar calendar format. This view helps drivers plan their day, including fuel stops, breaks, and other important activities. By clicking on any ride, drivers can see the full ride details.
