As a recent immigrant from overseas, I have experienced;
- missed buses that have arrived early
- been saturated in pouring rain waiting for late buses
- and, having to use GPS on my phone to work out where I need to get off a bus in an unfamiliar area. Talking with peers and other transport users, it seems that these are quite common issues.
We would like to close the gap to turn 1st Timers into Regular users by launching both Web and Mobile applications that will allow users to;
- Visualise bus routes that leave from a particular stop
- Visualise GPS bus locations in realtime for routes
- Give users alerts when buses will be running late, or arriving early
- Alert users when they are in close proximity of a stop
Currently, we have live prototypes of both a web based platform and Android application that visualises the route and displays realtime GPS bus tracking
Further extensions to the application will include features such as;
- Ability to add favourite routes and locations
- Integration of Trip Planner
- User damage reporting on services
- Photos of stop locations
- Customer Feedback
- HOP Integration to manage your AT account
This will provide users with a seamless Public Transport experience
