BeShuttle is a mobile companion app developed for De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) to enhance the e-shuttle experience. The application addresses common challenges like inconsistent shuttle timings and lack of updates by providing:
- 🛰️ Real-time shuttle tracking
- 📅 Live schedule monitoring
- 👥 Rider count notifications
- GPS Real-Time Tracking – Live updates on shuttle locations.
- Schedule Monitoring – Accurate arrival times, with alerts for delays.
- Rider Count Updates – Displays shuttle crowd level estimates.
Findings from surveys and interviews:
- 65% struggled to determine shuttle locations in real time.
- 35% expressed the need for a feature showing rider count.
- 60% reported inconvenience due to lack of notifications.
- Common frustrations: inconsistent shuttle schedules and no real-time alerts.
Apps like Pasahero, Irenbus, and RideExpress offer similar features but fall short in privacy and school-specific integration.
BeShuttle stands out by being:
- Tailored for DLS-CSB students and staff
- Minimal in permissions & data collection
- Focused on safety and accuracy
- 🏠 Home – Displays current status of e-shuttles
- 📍 Tracker – Shows shuttle’s live map location
- 📅 Schedule – Lists estimated arrival times
- 🔢 Rider Count – Displays occupancy of each shuttle
Based on user testing, we implemented the following:
- Password tooltip guidance on signup
- Better profile customization options
- Improved layout for shuttle timetables
- Color-coded rider count system
- First-time user tutorial
BeShuttle improves mobility within DLS-CSB by delivering a smarter, more connected e-shuttle experience. With real-time data, intuitive design, and continuous iteration, the app empowers students and staff to commute with confidence and convenience.
