Current API

DRIVERS API
GET     /drivers/routes/route_ID    show the route information
POST    /drivers/routes             create a new driver request (passing in driver UID, START, and END)
PUT     /drivers/routes/route_ID    update a driver's route request


RIDERS API
GET     /riders/rider_ID            show a rider request
GET     /riders                     show all rider requests
POST    /riders                     create a new rider request (passing in rider UID, START, and END)
PUT     /riders/rider_ID            update a rider's request

USER general API
GET     /users
GET     /users/user_id

NOTE: Right now i'm assuming a user can only be either a driver or a rider. And a rider can only have one ride request at a time.
NOTE: right now I'm testing with a few dummy users

TODO - API for

1. get/set potential riders (MOST IMPORTANT)
2. rider pick up
3. estimate time for rider
4. update current location
