ASSIGNING ON-DEMAND VEHICLES BASED ON ETA OF FIXED-LINE VEHICLES

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for directing ridesharing vehicles. In some implementations, the systems and methods may include a communications interface configured to receive a ride request from a user, wherein the ride request includes a desired destination and information associated with a current location of the user, and receive location information of a first group of on-demand ridesharing vehicles and a second group of fixed-line ridesharing vehicles and a processor configured to based on the received location information, identify a fixed-line ridesharing vehicle available to pick-up the user from a first pick-up location other than the current location of the user, based on the received location information, identify an on-demand ridesharing vehicle available to pick-up the user from a second pick-up location other than the current location of the user, determine a first value indicative of a time duration for the fixed-line ridesharing vehicle to arrive at the first pick-up location, determine a second value indicative of a time duration for the on-demand ridesharing vehicle to arrive at the second pick-up location, and when the first value is less than the second value, inform the user that the fixed-line ridesharing vehicle is enroute and direct the user to the first pick-up location.
