Imagine navigating the city while juggling multiple apps—one for tracking buses, another for planning routes, managing passes, and buying tickets. It’s a hassle, right? That’s where TransitPro comes in.
Frustrated commuters, including myself, needed a streamlined solution. Managing daily commutes across different apps wastes time and adds stress.
TransitPro won the Best Project Award for its user-centric design and seamless functionality. The final solution aims to improve commuter efficiency, reduce app-switching frustration, and provide real-time, actionable transit insights.

What a Transit App needed:
✅ A unified transit app to combine real-time tracking, route planning, pass management, and ticket purchasing
✅ A mobile-friendly interface for commuters to quickly access transit updates and plan their journeys
✅ A user-centric design that minimizes app-switching and streamlines the commuting experience

The main goal of the research and discovery phase was to understand the current landscape of public transit apps, spot gaps and pain points, and gather insights from real users.
The key findings from our research were:
✅ Presto offers pass management but lacks features for real-time bus tracking, route planning, and ticket purchasing.
✅ Transit provides real-time bus tracking and alerts but does not include pass management or ticket purchasing capabilities.
✅ Google Maps excels at route planning and real-time tracking but does not have integrated pass management.
✅ Waze features an interactive map but does not offer real-time bus tracking or pass management.
🔍 Research & Discovery – Conducted user interviews, surveys, and competitor analysis.
🧠 Ideation & Concept Testing – Brainstormed solutions, created multiple design concepts, and gathered real-world feedback.
🖌 Wireframing & Prototyping – Designed low-fidelity wireframes, mapped user flows, and iterated on high-fidelity prototypes.
✅ Usability Testing & Refinement – Tested the prototype with real users, analyzed feedback, and improved the final design.
