Transport Service Patterns
Transport and ride-hailing platforms maintain high availability during operating hours with GPS/mapping dependencies.
Transport app issues may show as "no drivers available" rather than an error. Physical transit services (buses, trains) continue running regardless of app status. Existing ride bookings are unaffected by app outages.
