What's next for RushTrack
Living in a bustling city with crowded public transportation, I've experienced the daily frustration of boarding packed trains during rush hours. The idea for rush trackwas born from personal experience - standing on platforms wondering if the next train would have standing room or be uncomfortably crowded. I noticed how commuters would peer down the tracks, trying to gauge crowd levels from distant train windows. This sparked the question: What if we could democratize crowd information and help commuters make smarter travel decisions?
The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the need for crowd awareness, but even as we return to normal, the value of avoiding overcrowded spaces remains. I wanted to create a solution that empowers commuters with real-time information, turning the collective experience of train travelers into actionable data for everyone.
