| Trip need | Official resource | What to verify | Rydei path if appropriate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public bus or route planning | Regional Transit System (RTS) | Current route, service notice, stop, and operating details | Use Ryde X only when a private point-to-point request fits |

| Medical appointment | City of Gainesville Transportation | Public-program eligibility, schedule, and reservation rules | Use Medical Transportation for a scheduled non-emergency request |
| Airport or no-car trip | City/RTS guidance | Airport details, timing, luggage, and the actual destination | Use Airport Transfer for airport planning or Ryde X for an ordinary local ride |
