Google Maps: Public Transport Revamp

UI/UX Redesign

An efficient way to travel

Google Maps does a great job of helping users plan public transport routes but falls short when it comes to supporting them during the actual journey. Once the route is mapped out, it's up to the traveller to manage any changes or disruptions along the way without further assistance from the app. A solution that offers real-time public transport support from start to finish, all within a single app, would make travelling smoother and much easier to navigate, benefiting users by helping them stay on track and adapt effortlessly to any changes.

Redesign Features

The redesign focuses on these features for now:

Schedule: A more intuitive way to view schedules, making it easier to understand timings and routes for better planning.

Live Tracking: Track your bus or train in real-time, giving you peace of mind throughout your trip.

Ticketing: Book tickets directly within Google Maps, ensuring you're fully prepared for your journey.
