🧠 Problem Title: Lack of Fare Transparency in App-Based Ride Services
📝 Problem Description

App-based taxi and ride-booking services are widely used for daily transportation. However, it is often observed that the fare displayed during booking may differ from the final amount charged after the trip.
In some situations, passengers may notice increases due to factors such as traffic delays, route modifications, waiting time, toll charges, or dynamic pricing mechanisms. When these changes are not clearly understood, users may feel confused about the final fare calculation.
I have observed that fare differences between the initial estimate and the final charged amount can sometimes create uncertainty among passengers. This may reduce trust and make it difficult for users to predict travel expenses accurately.
This problem highlights the importance of transparent fare calculations, clear communication of additional charges, and better user awareness regarding pricing mechanisms in digital transportation services.
