Enhancing User Experience: Streamlining Information Access on the Post-Booking Details Screen for SWVL Rides

CONTEXT

SWVL revolutionizes urban mobility with a user-friendly app, offering convenient, reliable, and affordable transportation alternatives. Book on demand, reserve seats, and access fixed routes for a seamless commute in air-conditioned, Wi-Fi-equipped vehicles, driven by dedicated professionals prioritizing safety and comfort.

Users encounter challenges in locating pertinent information on the booking details screen following the completion of a ride reservation.

🤔 PROBLEM STATEMENT

1. Boarding Pass Issues:

  • Lack of awareness among new users regarding the boarding pass and its usage.

  • Captains request boarding pass numbers during check-in, requiring user education on displaying it to captains when boarding.

2. Booking State Communication:

  • Users overlook the current display of the state for upcoming bookings.

  • Need for effective communication to users about:

    • Current booking state.

    • Subsequent steps and actions expected from the user.

3. Challenges with Maps & Stations:

  • Users lack knowledge about stops along the bus route, causing confusion when the bus stops at a station.

  • Difficulty in planning if users need to disembark without clear station visibility.

  • Issues with Stations & Station discovery:

    • Confusion about station location due to absence of physical stations and imprecise naming.

    • Users uncertain about where to stand, leading to anxiety.

    • Need for confirmation mechanisms to assure users they are at the correct spot.

Research was conducted in three phases, namely: reviewing customer grievances, analyzing funnel data & engaging in discussions with customer focus groups
