Abstract

Abstract—Infrastructural problems of modern cities cannot be solved through sheer power of will alone. The public transportation system is one of the most effected parts and as the situation is degrading, more and more people become reluctant to take public transport. The fine tuning of the system, or even its restructuring, requires an immense amount of data, which traditionally can only be collected via costly and time consuming ways, like deploying sensors, conveying surveys, just to name a few. Not to mention that during this process, the citizens do not experience too much improvement, and become easily skeptical concerning the outcomes. Is there really no other way? In this demo, we present and demonstrate our approach to solve this problem in the form of a smart phone application providing real-time feedback on public transport, transits, and user-reviews based on crowdsensing.
