Simplified public transportation for college students

Simplifying
public transit

Data collected at SUNY Oswego suggested that students weren’t using public transportation on campus.

The main cause was found to be the poor design of printed bus schedules, which were student’s primary source for route information; they were said to be confusing and difficult to use.

Providing an alternative to printed bus schedules, that would be easier for students to use, was the main goal for this application.

Modern experience
and interface

A resource that is always available, and that removes confusion or difficulty, was the desired scenario for students on-the-go.

Being mobile-first, this application is easy-to-use and always accessible from a student’s smartphone. After entering an origin and a destination, upcoming transit times are presented for the route, and step-by-step directions are given for navigation.

Tips and in-depth information are included, in order to help students use public transit with confidence, even if it’s their first time.
