Find your bus on time

The problem Track My Bus solves

TrackMyBus.com is website that helps users to find a bus that travels to their desired destination and save time by knowing if the bus they are waiting for is cancelled or not.
Login credentials are already given to verified drivers to avoid spamming.The bus driver login to the website from their phone and he/she will be asked to allow location access. Then they have to enter the starting point and destination of the route the bus is going to travel. The live location will be shared to the website.
When a user enters the website and select their destination and current location, the website will provide the user with live location of the bus and details of the driver travelling to that destination that will pass by the user.The user will also get push notifications when the bus reaches closer to the user.
In this way people can know when a bus will reach them or where the bus has reached at a particular time.

Challenges we ran into

One of the major challenge that we faced was in obtaining the realtime data of both user and driver and to plot it on the map. Second was it took lot of effort in building an interactive UI to the user,so that user will be much comfortable with the application. And we had to rethink our idea inorder to prevent spamming in driver sign up,so for that we came across the idea of adding verified user by providing credentials to them. This all were the challenges that we faced during this project.
