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!
