“I’m sacrificing home time to make more money. It’s important to utilize my time wisely and not cut corners on the job. Safety is a top priority for me.”
Age: 28 Yrs
Occupation: Driver
Status: Single
Location: San Francisco
Role: Driver
Bio: Mark is a renovation contractor who has just taken over his family business. As his car is usually loaded with building materials, he drives a second-hand one so that he does not feel a need to keep it clean. He Knows how easy to intimidate customers by sign professional language. And justify his price.
Goal:

- Keeps car running in good condition & maintaince + repairs can be quick and hassel-free.
Frustration:
- Have to take public transport to service clients when the car breaks down.
- Difficulty developing trust with customers as most have encountered bad experience with dishonest drivers.
User Scenario: A driver wants long distance trips because those more beneficial rather than stuck in 20km diameter in one city. In this way, a driver drives one day trip without any hassle and during the trip, they can rest and ready for returning destination. In the Rider app, a driver not only receiving trip payment but also rider can pay additional tip money as per the mood of whole trip and diver behavior.
We designed 2 apps, one for rider and one for Driver. Both app primary colors are different. For rider, we used Green color so that it looks sober to customer’s eyes and generate brand trust.
The final piece of research that we conducted for HoppInRide was usability testing. In view of the work-in-progress nature of the wireframes and prototype, we conducted testing on a reduced scope, mainly on the onboarding screens and HoppInRide (driver) app screens.
This diagram is useful in understanding the sequence of decisions and considerations, e.g. when the trip does not meet a key criterion, the Rider would go back to the previous step and perhaps look for another trip and book driver. From the flow, HoppInride could see the application of its current MVP and evaluate whether it would make sense to expand into other parts of the flow, thereby providing an end-to-end solution for rider and driver.
A high fidelity wireframe was developed using Sketch app to quickly integrate with InVision to develop interactions for remotely workable prototype and quick testing the ideated features with people.
