    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for selectively coalescing stop locations of route options in a dynamic transportation matching system. In one or more embodiments, the coalescing controller system generates route scores for driving route options, including route scores for an optimal non-coalesced driving route option and a coalesced driving route option. In some embodiments, the route score can include a driving score, a walking score, and a coalescing factor. Based on the route scores, the coalescing controller system can determine to coalesce stop locations. For example, if the route score of the coalesced driving route option is lower than the non-coalesced driving route option, the coalescing controller system can determine to coalesce stop locations in accordance with the coalesced driving route option. Additionally, the coalescing controller system can send instructions to a transportation provider device in accordance with the coalesced driving route option.
