Initiating transportation requests

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for generating and sending a request in response to a single user interaction. For example, in response to detecting that a single user interaction moves past a first threshold relative to a transportation request graphical user interface, the systems and methods described herein provides an estimate associated with the destination option. Then, in response to detecting that the same single user interaction with the transportation request graphical user interface moves past a second threshold relative to the graphical user interface, the systems and method generate and send a transportation request to be matched to a provider.
