Final Year Project

Project Title

Naqsh

Description

Most commuters in Karachi have seen the new buses and Bus Rapid Transit (BRTs) on the roads; however, few know how to access them. Naqsh aims to step in as an umbrella platform that provides information about everything, from affordable public accessibility to currently operational Sindh Mass Transport Authority (SMTA) initiatives, on one website. Naqsh acts as an all-encompassing digital platform to provide commuters with the necessary information on bus fares and schedules as well as providing access to features such as ride-planning and locating nearest stops and routes to facilitate inexpensive and communal commute through public transport
