Bus Transport App

We created an improved IU bus app in order to allow students to travel more efficiently around campus. After recognizing the issues with the current application, we optimized ours for efficiency and ease of use. With our new features students will have an easier time traveling through campus and getting to their classes on time.

Our Project

Our project's goal was to make public transportation more communicated for IU Bloomington students to allow for more efficient and reliable bus travel through and around IU Bloomington’s campus. With our improved bus tracking system, newly implemented features, route, and walking options, and bus route optimization. Our application is made for the students of Indiana University Bloomington to improve their navigation of the campus. After talking to current IU students of all years, we identified which areas would be most beneficial to the user to make improvements. Allowing more information communicated to the user, allowing them to make decisions, such as taking the bus or walking depending on variables such as crowdedness and destination arrival time.
