Various embodiments provide approaches for selecting vehicles and optimizing routes for a combination of passenger transportation requests and cargo delivery requests. The passenger transportation requests can relate to the transportation of people (i.e., passengers) and the cargo delivery request can related to the delivery of animals, packages, or other objects, from an origination location to a destination location. There may be several different types of vehicles available, each of which may be particularly advantageous (e.g., efficient) for a certain type of route, including passenger-only vehicles which are only used to serve passenger requests, cargo-only vehicles which are only used to serve cargo delivery requests, and mixed passenger and cargo vehicles which can be used to serve both passenger requests and cargo requests. In some embodiments, the mixed passenger and cargo vehicles may hold passengers and cargo at the same time, servicing both types of requests simultaneously.
