Has anyone thought of an app where you can track local govt buses, their live routes especially when you are new to a city and want to use public transport

I've read on news about 6 - 7 years back This happened in Karnataka. Maybe he's not Local LOL 😂 One person made an app to track live buses and show them to users. The government then called him and he went to talk to them. Usually people get rewarded for this but here they enquired how he's doing that and after knowing they just shut the data source leaving him dry. He shut the app end of the story.

There's one in Mumbai called Chalo. They live track the govt buses, have integrated govt bus tickets on the app and also have premium bus service on certain routes

I've often wished for something like this when visiting new cities. The challenge would be getting accurate real-time data from local transit authorities. Some cities already have systems in place, but many don't. You'd need to work closely with local governments to implement GPS tracking on buses.

I guess it has more to deal with the government...so it would be better to drop a mail or post a letter to the regional transport minister regarding the issue

Some key features to consider: integration with payment systems for mobile ticketing, multilingual support for diverse user bases, and perhaps a social component where users can share tips about specific routes. Also, think about monetization early - you could offer a freemium model with basic tracking free and advanced features like trip planning as paid options.

The main hurdle is data quality and consistency. You'd need to integrate with various transit systems, each potentially using different data formats. Also, consider battery drain issues on user devices with constant GPS usage. A good approach might be to start with one city as a pilot, iron out the kinks, and then expand.

Uber and Aaveg have reportedly got a licence from the Delhi transport department to operate "premium bus service" in the city. Will it reduce the public traffic traveling through taxies and 2 wheelers?
