A former IT student, Constantine Enriquez, took it upon himself to create the country’s first-ever public transportation schedule app. Many bus terminals in the country operate without displaying a schedule of departing buses, leaving many commuters waiting for hours and guessing whether their bus has already departed. If the terminal has an updated schedule, it is handwritten on a sheet of Bristol board and plastered onto the wall with tape. Now, with the development of the bus schedule app, commuters can fully prepare their travel plans before boarding public buses.
“This idea started as a project that I had made for myself to rebuild the Department of Transport website. I went [online] to look up bus schedule information, and I stumbled upon the website, and it was a little bit dilapidated; it wasn’t being maintained. So, I thought, I had a little free time, maybe I could work on rebuilding the website, and sell it to the Department of Transport, and make a little money,” said Enriquez.
