Zusammenfassung:	A computing system establishes a geofence associated with a particular service area, where the geofence corresponds to a set of rules for matching drivers with requesting users of the transport service. The system monitors a location of a computing device of a driver and detects when the driver enters the geofence. In response to the driver entering the geofence, the system places the driver into a queue for the particular service area. The system receives a transport request from a computing device of a requesting user, where the transport request is associated with the particular service area. The system arranges the transport service for the requesting user in accordance with the set of rules by (i) selecting a driver from the queue to service the transport request for the requesting user, and (ii) communicating a pickup location for the transport request to a computing device of the selected driver.
