What ViveRuta Does:
Let you see a map with: directions, rues , bus routes and stops. Let the user select an initial stop and a destiny (can include different bus lines) and the application tells you the route depending the stops you chose.
The problem that we find in our city is that all the bus routes are dispersed in different pages. There is no way to know which bus route is better to take, know where are the bus stops or know which route is closer to your location-destiny.
Problem:
The problem that we find in our city is that all the bus routes are dispersed in different pages. There is no way to know which bus route is better to take, know where are the bus stops or know which route is closer to your location-destiny.
There are principal lines and auxiliary routes, and the information of where are the auxiliary, principal routes and stops is dispersed, and is not possible to see all that information together.
Actual way to know the routes:
And in the actual way you need to search and enter one option by one option for know which route pass by that stop and where you can go by that bus.
Solution:
Our solution is an application for mobile devices where the user can select his location and a the destiny and see in the map the bus routes and stops. The application will tell the user the best option in the different lines, and if is necessary to take more than 1 bus the application will tell the user which buses take and where are the stops.
App:
Where you can select destinations from the route that you like in the same route or from one route to other route
You can see: the name of the stop and the name of the bus that you selected
Social benefits of using the application for public transport
-Save time of the users
-Incremental of public transport use.
- Reduces carbon footprint
- Reduces gasoline consumption
- Reduces congestion
-Is cheaper to use the public transport, and the use of this application foments and facilitate the use of bus.
Users:
-Tourist
-Disorientated people
-First's times in bus
-People in new lines
-People without car
-People with car and intentions to reduce gasoline consumption in routine activities.
Future implementations:
-Frequency of the bus
-Approximate time from the initial point to the destiny
-Cost of the transport
