Platform & Instructions

RideShare is a web-based application and can be run from any web browser (Firefox or Chrome, suggested). The RideShare prototype can be found at [url].

Please attempt to complete the following tasks when you are testing the website: 

  1. Find all rides to the airport.
  2. Look for a ride to Logan Airport from MIT on May 17th at 6 AM.
  3. There are no matches; post a new ride listing advertising a taxi ride from MIT to Logan on May 17th at 6 AM.
  4. Invite some friends over e-mail to share the ride with you.

Incomplete Features

Login
  • For now, users will not need to be logged in to use RideShare. Login is not fully implemented for this prototype.
  • The search panel currently only supports filtering by the "travel" category, although other values may be entered.
Ride Posting
  • When a user submits a ride to be posted, it will result in a canned response. The entered information will not be saved to the database.
  • Rides cannot be deleted.
Sharing a Ride
  • Sharing a ride is also canned. The auto-generated message text is currently the same for each ride. E-mail isn't implemented; no message will actually be sent.
  • The "Message Poster" button doesn't do anything yet.
  • No labels
