In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, at a backend server, a first request for a shared ride and a desired drop-off location from a first passenger; analyzing, by the backend server, a plurality of prospective routes to a plurality of prospective drop-off locations that are within a drop-off area associated with a desired drop-off location; selecting, by the backend server, a first drop-off location for the first passenger from the plurality of drop-off locations and a route to the first drop-off location based upon the likelihood of receiving a request for a shared ride with a prospective pick-up location within a limit of deviation from the route; and navigating a driver for at least a portion of the selected route.
