The whole on-demand Uber app working process goes as follows: 

1. Users enter their pick-up and drop locations.

3. Books the service. 
4. The app scans for the potential nearby drivers who are willing to accept the ride.  
5. A ride gets booked and a driver is allocated. 
6. Driver gets notified of a new ride. 
7. Driver either accepts or rejects the ride. 
8. If accepted, the driver picks the user from their given entered location and drops at the destined location. 
9. If the driver rejects the ride, the ride gets allotted to the next potential driver.
