Inspiration

In a sustainable world, everybody all needs to take public transport often. However, we all experience frustrating moments when we need to search for bus route every time. Practically, it is because most journey planner apps do not offer enough comfortable user experience for users. Especially in extreme cold whether in Finland, whenever we put out phone out to search for bus route, it is usually being shut down.

Everybody in our team all experience those things said above. We really want to take public transport to go to school, to work, but it is not an easy experience. That's why we want to build a journey planner app that is user centric and focus mostly on improving user experience to encourage more people to take public transport.
