Bussin! | Devpost

logo
map view - shows locations of all busses
search menu - filter automatically by number or name
search for buses - only display the ones you want to see
search bus stops - find all upcoming arrivals, updated faster than any other service
service alerts - see any delays or cancellations in real time

Inspiration

Apps like Google Maps and Apple Maps often feel unreliable for bus riders. Arrival times jump, routes reset, and live information is hard to find. We wanted to build a bus-first app that makes checking your bus fast, clear, and trustworthy.

What it does

Bussin makes transit easier by focusing on what matters most:

Live, real-time bus location tracking
Saved bus routes for daily commutes
Instant arrival updates without re-planning trips

Unlike Google Maps, Bussin shows where buses actually are right now, helping users make better decisions at the stop.

How we built it

Flutter and Dart for cross-platform mobile development
Kotlin for Android integration
TransLink API for real-time bus data
Google Maps Android SDK for map visualization

Challenges we ran into

Handling inconsistent real-time transit updates
Designing a interactive and clean UI

What we learned

Real-time transit data is messy (late updates, missing vehicles, sudden changes), as a result handling edge cases must be dealt as well as fetching the data.
