Urban mobility solutions increasingly rely on digital cab-booking platforms that provide fast, reliable, and accessible transport. However, most existing systems primarily focus on basic ride-hailing workflows and lack advanced safety features, real-time communication, and inclusive accessibility. Ride Ease, a MERN-powered cab booking application, is designed to address these limitations by integrating authentication, real-time ride tracking, socket-based communication, voice-based booking using the Web Speech API, Razorpay digital payments, and an Emergency SOS system using NodeMailer. This system provides a scalable full-stack architecture using MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js, ensuring seamless interaction between users and captains. The prototype demonstrates effective ride management, location tracking, secure payments, and an efficient automated workflow, improving user experience and safety.
