1. A computer-implemented method for pairing a customer with a service provider for an on-demand transportation service, the method comprising:
receiving a service request and one or more preset preferences of a customer from a customer computing device;
displaying, on a display screen of the customer computing device, an interactive electronic interface containing a menu of two or more search parameters for the customer, each of the two or more parameters being adjustable by the customer to launch an application for each of the two or more parameters to be simultaneously seen on the display screen;
displaying, in response to one or more inputs by the customer to the two or more search parameters, a graphical representation of the electronic interface containing:
one or more sets of indicators corresponding to each of one or more available service providers that match the one or more preset preferences, and
two or more identifications through at least a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver corresponding to the one or more inputs provided by the customer to the two or more search parameters including a maximum number of available service providers from the customer computing device and at least one of the following group comprising: (i) the one or more available service providers within a time span arrival to a pick-up location of the customer, (ii) one or more available service providers within a distance span for arrival to the pick-up location;
in response to a number of the one or more available service providers within the distance span or the time span not reaching the maximum number of the one or more available service providers as input by the customer, adjusting the one or more inputs to expand the time span or the distance span to increase the number of the one or more available service providers displayed; or
in response to a number of the one or more available service providers within the distance span or the time span exceeding the maximum number of the one or more available service providers as input by the customer, adjusting the one or more inputs to contract the time span or the distance span to reduce the number of the one or more available service providers displayed;
wherein the one or more sets of indicators reflect transportation service relevant data corresponding to each of the one or more available service providers;
selecting a service provider by the customer computing device from the one or more available service providers; and
receiving a set of confirmation data of acceptance from the computing device of the service provider.
