SpiTrack
SPiTrack App
The transit app works together with its own SpiTrack virtual or physical passcard. The app has a feature of real-time bus tracking location, managing financial transactions, and a Point Collection feature.
Problem
-
Traffic congestion and pollution are growing problems due to the overuse of personal cars. To encourage more people to use public transit, we propose an app that not only provides real-time information on public transportation but also encourages people to use it more often with incentives from our Point Collection feature.
Solution
-
Trackable bus location so people know where the bus is and the arrival time.
-
The community feature notifies your peer network that you arrive destination safely.
-
Virtual passcard on the smartphone.
-
Point Collection Feature that is exchangeable for a reward to encourage people to use public transportation.
