Problems Faced by Passengers
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
Our Mission
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
The Deliverables……
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.
