Bus rides are too boring!

- few interaction among passengers

- difficult to read a book, play games or watch movies because of vibration by bus

- e.g. too long journey to Otaniemi from Viikki

!

How can we solve it?

Using the existing but hidden data from bus routes and passengers, to create interesting visuals!
