Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying, at a server computing device, a package delivery location for a package;
determining, at the server computing device, at least one route characteristic based at least on the package delivery location, wherein determining at least one route characteristic comprises;
defining an area that includes the package delivery location; and
identifying a predicted period of time during which at least one unidentified passenger will request a desired route to a passenger drop-off location situated in the area; and
sending, from the server computing device, the at least one route characteristic to a client device associated with a transportation service for transporting at least one passenger to a passenger drop-off location.

Abstract
Systems, methods and a computer-readable medium provide for package delivery by transportation services that transport one or more passenger to desired locations. In one or more embodiments, a transportation server identifies a package delivery location for a package. The transportation server determines a route characteristic based at least on the package delivery location. The transportation server sends the route characteristic to a transportation service for transporting at least one passenger to a passenger drop-off location.
