Auckland is a great city and we have a powerful public transport system. We want to make it easy for people to encounter, use and explore our great city. This web app caters for the first time, regular traveller and explorer.
For the first time user they will be able to walk to a bus stop and enter their location. A list of routes that pass that location will be shown. By ticking on bus numbers the map will be updated showing the routes and the current location of the buses on those routes in real time. This makes it really easy to only show options of interest to the user.
For the regular user they are able to save locations as a favourite, this allows them to check on the real time status of a route remotely. Think of this as the 'do I have time for a piece of toast' scenario.
For the explorer a combination of the above will allow them to navigate to a familiar location then branch out to new destinations with confidence.
Thanks to the open data provided by Auckland Transport, this concept is now within our grasp.
