A passenger cabin of a passenger transport vehicle such as an aircraft includes single passenger seats arranged between an aisle and an outside cabin wall. Each seat is tiltably adjustable between an upright seating configuration and a reclined lying configuration, and is rotatable between a forward-facing orientation facing 0 to 18° relative to the cabin longitudinal axis, and an inwardly-turned orientation facing 50 to 600 relative to the longitudinal axis. The forward-facing orientation is for upright seating during take-off and landing. The inwardly-turned orientation provides additional leg room and sufficient space for the reclined lying configuration. The pitch spacing between seats can be minimized, and total seating capacity is high, while providing substantial space and comfort for each passenger. Screening partitions adjacent to the cabin wall and the aisle provide privacy screening and define a personal space allocated to each seat.

In some locations, such as airports, drivers that provide passenger transport must wait a significant distance away from the pickup location. To reduce the delay between a passenger requesting a ride and being picked up, drivers are pre-dispatched before being assigned to specific passengers. The demand for a future time period is predicted and the number of drivers that should be pre-dispatched to meet that demand is estimated. The estimated number of drivers is sent pre-dispatch instruction indicating they should leave the waiting area and head towards the pickup location.
