fromhere, an iPhone Application for a Better Use of Public Transport

Public transportation networks tend to grow and densely cover cities, and thus the possibilities to to get from A to B multiply.

Now a days is not only required to coordinate all those buses, trams and trains, but also to provide commuters with the information to plan a journey in a fast and efficient way.

Design vs Art designed the very first mobile application that tells the user how to go from here to there with only one single tap on the screen.

The following video explains our concept.

How Does fromhere Work?

Every user goes regularly to certain places, say for example to work, the gym, visit the best friend, the favorite cafeteria. We realized pre-storing this addresses is a good idea, so that the user doesn't have to enter them every time he needs the journey plan.

This way, the user only has to tap on the previously stored destination.

Technology

Thanks to GPS the telephone knows where the user is located. The application then connects to the server to translate coordinates to a real address, such as "Düsseldorfer Strasse 11, München".

In the next step the application requests the journey plan between departure and destination to the servers.
