Inspiration
Increase in pollution and traffic due to lack of the usage of public transport. We were also inspired by gamification to attract users.
What it does
Provides incentives for users of public transport by tying up with companies who provide coupons
How we built it
We used figma to create a prototype for the app which travellers have on their phone. QR code scanners should be installed on buses and trains and it should scan the QR code generated on the users app. We also coded a website using React,Node and MongoDB which allows companies to tie up with tripity and add coupons, and also view usage statistics to improve company growth.
Challenges we ran into
- We had initially decided to stick QR codes on buses and trains so that travellers can scan it using the app on their phone. Later we realized that people can cheat the system by taking pictures of the QR code and sharing it with others. Therefore we decided to install scanners on the buses/trains and have the QR code on the app.
- In order to attract startups, we decided to have scratch cards which gave a higher probability of customers receiving their coupons.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- We were able to develop a fully functional website which was also deployed, and also a prototype using figma.
What's next for Tripity
Next step for tripity is to also develop a fully functioning app
