Easy Taxi

Select my ride

Easy Taxi app: Founded in Brazil in 2011, it was a global app for taxi-hailing in 30 countries. By December 2014, it had 17 million users and 400,000+ affiliated drivers.

Goal

Help users to select the best ride option with fewer taps avoiding distractions.

To allow Easy's growth and meet the user needs we decided to provide a new way to connect regular taxis, passengers and also collaborate with the social-economic environment introducing services like private drivers and carpooling.

Problems to solve

  • Highlight all the ride options on the first screen in a way to compare differences
  • Proceed a ride request with or without selecting the destination
  • Simplify the order request process

High fidelity prototype for the user testing
To prove my assumptions and efficiency of the concept I decided to go directly into a high fidelity prototype, exploring transitions, behaviours and perceptions. I tested initially with 10 Easy Taxi's users.
Main screen design updated exploring clear Origin and Destination fields, available service types and nearby drivers.

Reviewing the user-flow

Aiming for reduce friction and users abandoning the app, I proposed a change on the ride selection and that increased the conversion and reduced the cancelation rates in 32%.
