Transportation - Baybound

Inspiration

A UCLA study highlighted the discrepancy in the increase in transit usage and who actually accounted for that increase. Chester, a mentor, helped point us in a direction to fully embrace the user-experience and financial framing of our solution which is unique to the many operational solutions in the space.

What it does

Our action plan suggests and prioritizes the simplification of the users’ financial interactions with 1) an inclusive mode of payment strategy 2) Integrated Public Tran sport Fare System and 3) an all-in-one management system that feeds information in from these two avenues.

How we built it

Nothing was built but we ideated and drew from case studies around the nation and also overseas.

Challenges we ran into

Honing in on a problem to solve was the hardest.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Realizing the complexity of the issue and how it was almost impossible to have one solution that hit everything we learned to prioritize but in a way that did not completely ignore a population.

What we learned

The Bay Area transit system is very fragmented and it needs to be unified sooner than later as it starts to move in a direction that's disproportionately serving traditionally non-heavy transit users.

What's next for Baybound

We're boundless!
