Mobile app project description

inTransit App

An app to relieve passengers of boredom while using the public transit system (bus, train, plane etc.) by allowing them to play and win money/rewards, discover offers, discounts and events and buy transit related products and souvenirs etc.

Features of the application

User perspective:

Users can post complaints to the respective transit provider/agency.

Passengers can view offers/promotions available at different businesses (retail, dining etc.) along their travel route.

They can also view any events that are taking place along their travel route.

Play a travel time - based game with other passengers and win money/rewards. The game is to guess the arrival time of buses/trains/flights at their final destination. Similar to fantasy sport but for transit where people win according to the on time performance of the transit they select ( buses, trains, flights) in real time.

Business perspective:

Businesses can add their location and offers/promos/events and it will be linked to the closest bus stop/train station and in turn linked to all the buses and trains that pass through there by the application. For flights it will be linked to the airports.

They can also put up their rewards for users to play and win by letting passengers guess the arrival time at a specific stop or the arrival time at the final destination.

Transit Agencies perspective:

Agencies can monitor passenger complaints, suggestions along a certain route.
