The system and method disclosed herein provides a taxi sharing bridge system, which uses taxis from a plurality of taxi companies (and their respective taxi sharing systems) to effectively dispatch commuters to their specific destinations when a disruption occurs in a public transportation system. The system and method includes client devices associated with a plurality of users, a taxi sharing bridge system and a plurality of taxi sharing systems. The system uses past transportation service usage data to determine a preferred route of a user to travel from an origin to a destination. The system takes into account a priority level of the users who choose to use the service to group them into taxis to arrive at a destination upon a disruption in the public transportation system. The priority level may be based on the commuter's waiting time, the commuter's loyalty, and preferred route type.
