What the Passenger App Is
The Passenger App of the Quickride Shuttles platform is a web-based application where customers can view the real-time status of their shuttle rides and create their own shuttle rides.
How Customers Get Access to Create their Own Ride
When customers get an outbound ride, a ride from the station to another location, and the driver completes the ride in the Driver App, customers get a text/ SMS message with a link to create their own ride back to the station. If customers lose or delete this text/ SMS message, a scheduler can send another link by creating a set by passenger ride in the Command Center. Customers click on the link and the Passenger App opens on whatever default internet browser they have installed on their smartphone. They do not need to download anything to access the app.

Notes on Creating Rides
The Passenger App link never expires.
The Passenger App only allows customers to create a ride to or from the station, i.e. the starting point or ending point of the ride must be the station.
Customers create rides when they need them and the Passenger App gives them an ETA that shows them a real-time estimate of when the shuttle will be able to pick them up. Customers cannot pre-schedule rides for a specific pickup time.
If customers want a ride for a specific pickup time, they should contact the station so a dispatcher can create a future ride for them in the Command Center.
