ProblemTechnology
"In emerging markets, people struggle to navigate public transport due to lack of reliable and accurate information about routes, schedules, and real-time updates. This makes it difficult for them to plan their journeys, leading to wasted time, frustration, and missed opportunities."
Solution
"WhereIsMyTransport provides a comprehensive and accurate database of public transport information for emerging markets. They collect data from all modes of transport, including buses, trains, and metros, and maintain its accuracy through ongoing updates and social listening. This data is used to power their consumer app, Rumbo, which provides users with real-time information about routes, schedules, and disruptions, helping them plan their journeys efficiently and reliably."
