Mart Transportation

Every student in New York City has had that moment of standing outside in the cold or the rain not knowing if their bus already passed or is still coming, and the fact that you started from that real frustration and turned it into an app idea shows exactly the kind of thinking that great products come from. What really impressed me is how your idea grew from just tracking school buses to covering public buses and the subway too, because that shows you were listening and thinking bigger as you went. The user flow and the Figma prototype show a clear understanding of how someone would actually use the app from the moment they open it. One thing to think about for your next version is what happens when the data is not accurate, since real time tracking depends a lot on reliable location updates. Adding a simple way for users to report when something looks off could help keep the information trustworthy for everyone. This is a genuinely useful app that solves a problem millions of people in this city deal with every single day. Fantastic work, Ivan, Raymond and Brian!
