Bus ETA and Best Bus checker

Inspiration

I missed lot's of buses during my college, maybe this could be a solution

What it does

There are predefined routes, speeds. The user can anywhere be in between the start and end and he/she can enter their location using the dropdown to find the time remaining for the bus to come. Also, there is a option for observing traffic info. which needs some work to be done on it.

How I built it

I did it individually with some help on the internet, thought about the challenges faced by me as well as many of my friends and took one problem on which I have worked!

Challenges I ran into

ETA is a field which also gets affected by external factors such as traffic, weather, accidents and not only speed and distance. This was a major challenge! Also this could be solved by installing some sort of tracking unit on the bus.

Accomplishments that I'mproud of

I did something and got something which I wanted! This is my first hackathon and I am proud that I was able to code a problem to get some solution!

What Ilearned

Python, Streamlit, Public transportation issues.

What's next for Bus ETA and Best Bus checker

This is just a basic application, It can be upscaled by adding more routes, stops, users and tweaking the ETA calculation methods!
