@SerializedName("state") var city: String? = null,
@SerializedName("city") var state: String? = null,

)

What should i do?

Answer 1

The error tells you that the response actually begins with [ instead of { so I suspect that you are actually getting a list of these Rides objects.

I see you have

@GET("/rides")
suspend fun getAllRides() : RidesResponse

and RidesResponse is

data class RidesResponse(
    val results : List<Rides>
)

Now you basically are telling it that the respons should look like

{
    "results": [
      ...
    ]
}

but you don't have that. So I think you should just change the api to

@GET("/rides")
suspend fun getAllRides() : List<Rides>
