A simpler way to navigate public transit.

Making public transit easier to navigate

Public transit often requires commuters to switch between different tools to plan a route, check vehicle locations, and purchase tickets. Our goal was to bring these functions together in one application so users could complete their journey with fewer steps.

One flow, fewer decisions

We designed Transit Genie around a straightforward, linear flow. Users begin by selecting their origin and destination, then review potential routes before confirming their choices.

01 — Select a destination

Users enter their origin and destination to begin planning the trip.

02 — Compare routes

Potential routes display travel time and estimated arrival information so users can compare options.

03 — Confirm the route

Users can review the selected route and see a map before proceeding.

04 — Purchase a ticket

Because the app was intended for commuters using public transportation, we designed the interface for a mobile screen and kept the visual system intentionally simple. A limited palette of white, blue, black, and gray helped maintain visual clarity, while icons and maps communicated information without relying entirely on text.
