Exicube Bid Taxi App – Flutter Ride-Hailing, Driver Bidding, Live Tracking & Payments with Web Admin (GPL)

🚀 Overview

Exicube Bid Taxi App is a full ride-hailing template where riders create trip requests and drivers submit bids with custom prices, ETAs, and notes. Once a rider accepts a bid, the ride is confirmed with live tracking and in-app communication. A web admin panel manages users, fares, commissions, disputes, and reports. This model suits markets that value transparent pricing or off-peak negotiation (e.g., airport runs, inter-city trips, and night rides).

Experience: The flow reflects real deployments in emerging markets—price discovery via bidding reduces cancellation rates and helps drivers match availability with demand.

Target users: Mobility startups, city taxi co-ops, fleet operators, agencies building white-label ride apps, and students learning marketplace logistics.
