Tridhya Tech's Solution for Integrating Multiple Modes of Transport into an Android App
Navigate the City with Ease!
Our client wanted to develop an Android mobile app that would provide users with an all-in-one solution for commuting. The app was supposed to combine all possible modes of transport to give users the best options, including subway/metro, bus, train, Uber, rail, ferry, bike share, and personal bike with cycle lanes. Providing real-time directions, departure timings, and reporting disruptions were just a few of the features they want to include in the app. They hired Tridhya Tech to help with the platform’s development with the goal of producing a user-friendly, functional app that fulfilled client requirements and improved public transportation.
Business Challenges
Integrating Multiple Modes of Transport
One of the challenges that Tridhya faced while developing the app was integrating all possible modes of transport. The app needed to combine subway/metro, bus, train, Uber, rail, ferry, bike share, and personal bike with cycle lanes to give users the best options.

This required the creation of an interface that was not only easy to navigate but also presented all necessary information in a concise and intuitive manner.
Integration of GPS Location and Messaging
The app should allow users to send GPS coordinates and map locations to anyone through SMS, WhatsApp, Twitter, or email. However, integrating these features into the app was challenging.
