Abstract: ln the modern urban mobility landscape, the rapid growth of cities and regional hubs has intensified the need for efficient, scalable, and cost-effective transportation systems, yet existing ride-sharing models remain largely limited to point-to-point services and fail to address the_complexities ofhigh-densit;)l,-multi-passengcr commuting. These systems often-laclcritical features such as mid-route boarding and drop-off, gender-sensitive safety filtering, and flexible segment-based pricing, making them less suitable for daily shared transit scenarios. The RealTime Distributed Framework for Multi-Passenger Transport addresses these gaps· through a comprehensive geospatial and distributed computing approach that integrates low-latency GPS tracking, continuous location streaming, and dynamic route indexing to optimize vehicle movement in real time. By leveraging proximity-based ride discovery algorithms, the framework intelligently matches passengers with vehicles along active routes, enabling efficient mid-route onboarding, minimizing idle travel, and maximizing occupancy. Safety is enhanced through customizable gender-based ride preferences and an integrated SOS alert system that broadcasts real-time location data to nearby users and authorities during emergencies. Additionally, the introduction of a segment-based pricing model ensures fair and affordable cost distribution based on actual travel distance, benefiting both passengers and drivers. Built on a scalable full-stack architecture with mobile interfaces, cloud-based services, and geospatial databases, the system ensures high performance, reliability, and adaptability to large user bases. Overall, this framework bridges the gap between traditional ride-sharing and public transport by delivering a smarter, safer, and more inclusive mobility solution that improves accessibility, reduces per-capita travel costs, and enhances the overall commuting experience in densely populated regions
