Demo

At the moment, the project has only the integration with the Google APIs, and I am working hard to publish the first version.

The Story Behind It

One year ago I moved from the city of Medellín to Bucaramanga, Colombia. I noticed a difference in transportation quality and wanted a way to understand the bus routes. I always liked to help others, so I combined both ideas, and honestly, it excites me.

Technical Highlights

As the MVP is the priority, the next steps are the services required to run it:

Hosting

For fast publication and zero cost I chose GitHub Pages.

Algorithms

Data structures are tied to algorithms and vice‑versa. For now, I will host all the public data (format to be defined) of the bus routes in the repository and fetch them on demand.

Maps, Routes, AutoComplete API

Using Google Maps services is important because they are quick to integrate and can be used with zero backend. Later, the idea is to allow administrators of transportation companies to update routes, see metrics, and make public announcements (the selling stage).
