A method includes receiving, by a first client computing device, data from a first NFC target device responsive to a first NFC device associated with the first client computing device being in physical proximity of the first NFC target device. The method further includes generating, based on the data, an order request for a transportation vehicle. Responsive to the order request not being placed and the first NFC device of the first client computing device being within a predetermined physical proximity of a second NFC device of a second client computing device, the method further includes causing information associated with the order request to be transmitted from the first client computing device to the second client computing device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: receiving, by a processing device of a first client computing device, data from a first near-field communication (NFC) target device responsive to a first NFC device associated with the first client computing device being in physical proximity of the first NFC target device; generating, by the processing device based on the data, an order request for a transportation vehicle; and responsive to the order request not being placed and the first NFC device of the first client computing device being within a predetermined physical proximity of a second NFC device of a second client computing device, causing, by the processing device, information associated with the order request to be transmitted from the first client computing device to the second client computing device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a kiosk comprises the NFC target device, wherein the kiosk is at a fixed geographical location. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the data from the NFC target device comprises an indication of a pick-up location associated with the fixed geographical location, wherein the order request comprises the pick-up location. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving, by the processing device, user input via the first client computing device to transfer the order request to another user, wherein the causing of the information to be transmitted to the second client computing device is further responsive to the receiving of the user input. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the causing of the information to be transmitted to the second client computing device is without user input to transfer the order request via the first client computing device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the order request is to be placed by the second client computing device responsive to the causing of the information to be transmitted to the second client computing device. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving, by the processing device, second information associated with the second client computing device, wherein the order request is to be updated based on the second information to be associated with the second client computing device. ### Claim 8 A system comprising: a first near-field communication (NFC) device; a memory; and a processing device communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processing device is to: receive data from a first NFC target device responsive to the first NFC device being in physical proximity of the first NFC target device; generate, based on the data, an order request for a transportation vehicle; and responsive to the order request not being placed and the first NFC device being within a predetermined physical proximity of a second NFC device of a second client computing device, cause information associated with the order request to be transmitted to the second client computing device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein a kiosk comprises the NFC target device, wherein the kiosk is at a fixed geographical location. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the data from the NFC target device comprises an indication of a pick-up location associated with the fixed geographical location, wherein the order request comprises the pick-up location. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the processing device is further to: receive user input to transfer the order request to another user, wherein the processing device is to cause the information to be transmitted to the second client computing device further responsive to receiving of the user input. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the processing device is to cause the information to be transmitted to the second client computing device without user input to transfer the order request. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the order request is to be placed by the second client computing device responsive to the processing device causing the information to be transmitted to the second client computing device. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the processing device is further to: receive second information associated with the second client computing device, wherein the order request is to be updated based on the second information to be associated with the second client computing device. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions encoded thereon which, when executed by a processing device of a first client computing device, cause the processing device to: receive data from a first near-field communication (NFC) target device responsive to a first NFC device associated with the first client computing device being in physical proximity of the first NFC target device; generate, based on the data, an order request for a transportation vehicle; and responsive to the order request not being placed and the first NFC device of the first client computing device being within a predetermined physical proximity of a second NFC device of a second client computing device, cause information associated with the order request to be transmitted from the first client computing device to the second client computing device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein a kiosk comprises the NFC target device, wherein the kiosk is at a fixed geographical location. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the data from the NFC target device comprises an indication of a pick-up location associated with the fixed geographical location, wherein the order request comprises the pick-up location. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processing device is further to: receive user input via the first client computing device to transfer the order request to another user, wherein the processing device is to cause the information to be transmitted to the second client computing device further responsive to receiving of the user input. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the order request is to be placed by the second client computing device responsive to the processing device causing the information to be transmitted to the second client computing device. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processing device is further to: receive second information associated with the second client computing device, wherein the order request is to be updated based on the second information to be associated with the second client computing device.
