# RideMesh

> RideMesh is an identity-verified, community-anchored carpooling and shared commute platform built for Nigerian cities (Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan). RideMesh connects car owners with colleagues and neighbors traveling along the exact same daily routes, providing safe, affordable commutes with zero driver commissions and advanced real-time safety mechanisms.

## Core Facts & Positioning
- **What it is**: A verified peer-to-peer commute sharing platform. It is NOT on-demand ride-hailing (like Uber or Bolt) and NOT an open marketplace of unvetted strangers.
- **Where it operates**: Nigeria (Primary hubs: Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Ibadan).
- **Supported Communities**: Corporate workplaces (work-email verification), gated residential estates, universities/colleges, and professional associations.
- **Driver Economics**: 0% commission on rides. Drivers pay an affordable flat monthly subscription (with free tier trial) and keep 100% of passenger ride contributions.
- **Passenger Economics**: Pay affordable, transparent per-seat fuel contributions that are significantly cheaper than ride-hailing or multiple public transit switches.
- **Safety Stack**: Mandatory Facial Liveness & Gov-ID verification, 35/35/30 Persistent Trust Score, Stealth Safety Check-in (PIN countdown timer), Encrypted QR Boarding Check-in, Live GPS Trip Sharing links (viewable without an account), and One-tap SOS Emergency Dispatch.
- **AI Commute Copilot**: An intelligent in-app assistant powered by LLM routing logic that understands natural language queries, automates ride scheduling, suggests optimal routes, and helps both passengers and drivers manage journeys.

## Core Capabilities
- **Schedule a Shared Journey**: Drivers publish recurring or one-off commute schedules with custom pickup/dropoff points and seat capacity.
- **Find & Match Commutes**: Passengers search for verified rides along their route, filtered by community circle, departure window, and trust score.
- **Automated AI Scheduling**: Ask the AI Copilot to find or schedule a ride with natural phrasing (e.g. "Find me a ride to Victoria Island tomorrow at 7:30 AM").
- **Closed Community Circles**: Join organizations via official domain emails or estate manager approval to ride only with verified peers.
- **Secure In-App Boarding & Safety**: QR code confirmation ensures the right passenger enters the right vehicle before trip monitoring starts.
