An SOS button that nobody answers is decoration. This guide covers the app features riders actually use, trip sharing, verification and the admin Alarm Management that records in-trip SOS.
The formula fits on one line. The hard part is estimate vs meter, time-period rates and disputes. Here is how a taxi app should turn a trip into a fare.

Delivery and one-way return look like checkboxes until a store has to assign a driver, photograph the car and collect a second payment. Here is the workflow that must work.
Hotels and restaurants want to place chauffeur orders for guests. That needs merchant accounts, commission rules, multi-driver counts and waiting fees that survive a Friday night.
