Could you build this?
Partial Connecting Nostr clients with basic marketplace events is achievable, but an end-to-end P2P ride-hailing app requires robust geospatial indexing, low-latency relay matchmaking, fraud mitigation, and escrow payment flows.
What it would actually take: A functioning decentralized ride-hailing network needs a mobile client (React Native or Flutter) integrated with Nostr relay protocols (NIP-90 for Data Vending Machines or custom event kinds) and Bitcoin Lightning Network wallets for escrowed micromachined payments. The hardest technical hurdles are real-time, low-latency geospatial pub/sub over decentralized relays without leaking user location privacy, peer reputation/anti-sybil management, and handling ride state transitions reliably under spotty mobile connectivity.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a marketplace tool for Horizontal yet.
