I went straight into user empathy mode and started listing pain points for older adults: small text, confusing app flows, trust issues with strangers, physical difficulty getting in and out of cars.
Start by defining the target elderly segment and their specific needs, then map the end-to-end ride experience to identify pain points. Prioritize solutions based on impact and feasibility, and propose a phased roadmap with clear success metrics.
Pro tip: Frame your answer around accessibility as a business opportunity, not just a social good—elderly users often have higher willingness to pay for reliable, assisted transportation. Also, consider partnerships with community organizations or healthcare providers to drive adoption.
Define the elderly segment (e.g., 65+, varying tech-savviness, mobility levels) and their key needs: safety, simplicity, affordability, and assistance.
Walk through the ride journey (app discovery, booking, pickup, ride, payment) and identify friction points like small text, complex UI, lack of human support.
Brainstorm features to address pain points: simplified UI, voice booking, family accounts, driver training, and alternative payment methods.
Use impact vs. effort to prioritize quick wins (e.g., larger fonts) and long-term bets (e.g., dedicated fleet), and propose a phased rollout.
Establish metrics like adoption rate, ride frequency, satisfaction (CSAT), and retention among elderly users, plus business impact (revenue, market share).
