1. A computer-implemented method of facilitating a first-mile/last-mile transfer of a vehicle, the computer-implemented method comprising:
analyzing, via one or more processors, a first route and a second route using a trained machine learning model to determine, respectively, a first cost of the first route and a second cost of the second route to a first user;
wherein the trained machine learning model is trained using at least one of a detour in time, a delay in miles, a time of day, a traffic congestion factor, or profile information about a ride share passenger;
causing, via the one or more processors, a message including the first cost and the second cost to be displayed to the first user via a first electronic device of the first user;
receiving, via the one or more processors, an indication of whether the first user selects the first route or the second route;
determining, via the one or more processors, an incentive to a second user associated with at least one of the first route or the second route; and
causing, via the one or more processors and based on the indication, a second message including an indication of the incentive to be displayed to the second user via a second electronic device of the second user.
