Inspiration

I am a university student. My university is beautiful, and also has a large transport section. Students avail the transportation system and as my university has a huge number of students, there are a lot of bus going to different places in different schedules and routes. The buses and the routes also changes according to demand! I had a huge problem keeping up with the schedule, so I thought, as we all use Facebook and messenger, I wish it was possible to keep a track of the buses from anywhere! Then came the idea of having a chatbot solving the problem!

What it does

It interacts with users and gives them information about the trips and bus schedules in details.

How I built it

With the help of a basic chatbot handler

Challenges I ran into

The only challenge was to make the chatbot more human-interactive. This is the only challenge I faced and I hope to keep up with it.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This chatbot will help any registered institution's students or employees to keep themselves up-to-date with the bus schedules and thus, it solves a problem we all face! and I am proud to be solving it!

What I learned

I learned how to handle chatbots, how to use human-interactive options and more!

What's next for Bus Info-teller

  • Better user experience
  • Detailed Information about the buses
  • Finding buses' real-time location (if the buses have tracker devices)

and more!
