Problems Faced by Passengers • Where is the Bus stop ? • What bus number goes to the destination ? • What route the bus takes and where to get down ? • What time the bus will be available ?
Our Mission • To Create an all efficient Database of bus routes in the city • Providing option for commuters to plan the trip using two different modes(Train and Bus) or two different buses
The Deliverables…… • The public will be able to know if the bus is crowded apart from knowing about the bus’s timing • Once Waitease website finds its patronage, public transport ridership shall drastically improve in the city • The data output will greatly help in improving people’s faith in public transport and enhance its safety and security • This information will be made available free on the internet, so that people can use real time data to plan trips • Waitease will ultimately help Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) to try out passenger-friendly measures to improve patronage
GO GREEN CHENNAI • Each time we Go Greener with any public transport system, we reduce the impact on the environment and increase the green in our wallet • Driving alone burns fuel and produces exhaust to move only one person • Taking public transport or sharing the ride in a carpool or vanpool produces just a fraction of emissions per person to cover those miles. • Buses and trains break up congestion on our roadways, moving people more efficiently. Buses and trains also free up space for other vehicles doing things like shipping goods or providing emergency services.
