MHRide is a ridesharing platform built for the residents of Medicine Hat. Riders book in seconds, see upfront pricing and track verified local drivers in real time, a trusted alternative to global rideshare apps that keeps value in the community.

The Challenge

Mid-sized cities lack the flexibility and reach of large rideshare networks.
Riders wanted modern convenience with the safety of verified local drivers.
Pricing had to be upfront with no hidden charges.

What We Built

Instant ride booking with multiple stops and fares confirmed before the trip.
Live GPS tracking and ride updates from request to drop-off.
In-app chat between rider and driver for coordination.
Transparent fare calculation and integrated payments.
A paired driver app with ride management, navigation and earnings tracking.

How We Did It

Build. Flutter for one consistent experience on iOS and Android.
Backend. Firebase for auth, real-time ride state and push. MongoDB and Redis for trips, pricing and fast dispatch.
Maps. Google Maps SDK for routing and live tracking.

Outcome

Fast, reliable mobility for commutes, airport transfers, errands and nights out.
A local-first platform that supports Medicine Hat drivers and keeps money in the community.
