The method can include receiving a first trans- portation service request from a user terminal device. The method can fur- ther include determining, by a processor, an estimated time for the first transportation service request to be fulfilled. The method can also include determining, by the processor, a hypothetical time for the first transporta- tion service request to be fulfilled if switching to a carpool request. The method can also include providing, to the user terminal device, a recom- mendation to switch to the carpool request when the hypothetical time is less than the estimated time. The method can also include providing a car- pool service to fulfill the first transportation service request when an ac- ceptance of the recommendation is received from the user terminal device. Provide a recom on to switch to a carpool request when the I , time is less than the esurnated time — Erre - Via ---- transportation service request when en acceptance of the recommendation is received from the user temente device 200 FIG. 2 [Continued on next page] WO 2019/033735 Al MIDEDIMOHNOIROMOINIMIIIMEIIMOVOIS TR), OAPI (BF, BJ, CF, CG, CI, CM, GA, GN, GQ, GW, KM, ML, MR, NE, SN, TD, TG).
