3rd place – Transport Dakar
Dakar, the economic capital of Senegal, is one of the largest cities in West Africa. We have many types of public transportation: taxis, buses and “Rapides”. Users of public transportation do not have information to help them find the bus that gets them to their destinations. That’s why we made an application Transport Dakar for Android phones to help users to decide the best type of transportation for them (buses of Dakar Dem Dikk and AFTU). The application provides information about bus routes from Google Maps helps users to decide which transportation to use according to their destination finds closest bus stop.
