Abstract
A computing system can process utilization data from computing devices of requesting users of a transport service and identify a plurality of the requesting users being transported by a third-party transit means, such as a train, bus, or ferry, to an arrival location. For each of the plurality of requesting users, the system can determine a destination requiring additional transport from the arrival location of the third-party transit means. Based on the destination of each of the plurality of requesting users, the system can coordinate with a set of transport providers within a certain proximity of the arrival location of the transit means to facilitate transport for the plurality of requesting users at the arrival location.
