Abstract
A network system for managing a network-based service (e.g., an on-demand transport service) is configured to pre-compute, based on historical data, a plurality of service metrics that are maintained in a searchable database. In response to user interaction with a user application to view available service options, the user application can cause session data indicating start and service locations to be transmitted to the network system. In response, the network system can translate the start and service locations to a first and second search keys, respectively. The search keys can be used to query the database for the relevant service metric for the session. The network system can transmit the relevant service metric to the user device to enable the user device to display information relating to the session (e.g., a price for requesting the network-based service) that is based at least in part on the relevant service metric.
