Ever missed a bus? There’s an app for that!
As a student in the campus, one often faces the issue where one would just missed the bus by minutes, sometimes seconds! Be it because of classes, inconvenient time schedule, or just because he/she wants to grab a quick drink or toilet break.
It’s frustrating and no one likes that. What if there’s a solution for that? What if there’s some way to notify you on when the next bus is going to arrive? Just like the pictures shown below ↓↓↓

The Challenges
- Our main challenges would be of time management. As an active undergraduate, this project will consume quite a heap of time from our usual schedule in order to bring this project to light.
- Obviously, as a Mechanical Engineering student, we have no prior knowledge on app development, hence why a chunk of the fund raised would be used to enrol ourselves into an app development course, hopefully to get a grip on providing an useful app for all.
- Our short term goal is to get the core functions for this app done as soon as possible (if we’re funded) so that its functionality can be utilised by those who needs it, and the revenue from the ads will hopefully fund the project further in the future so we can improve and maintain the app for everyone to use.
- Our long term goal would involve fleshing out the app based on feedbacks and continue provide free updates to all our users. After that, we aimed at providing similar services for other institutes, should they need them, with the foundation build of the app that can be custom-fitted for a particular schedule and system for other clients.
