Description TripGo provides detailed information about how to travel between a starting and ending location in the Greater Sydney area using a wide range of transport methods (train, bus, car, ferry, motorbike, taxi, pushbike).

 

TripGo users can track the carbon footprint generated by their trip, whilst also tailor their movements according to cost, duration, environmental impact and hassle.

Community ProTag lets people report problems in the local area using their mobile phone cameras (for example road damage, burst water mains).

 

Their reports are automatically geo-tagged using the phone’s GPS capabilities and pushed to a central Facebook group, where users can share or like the problems.

Passengers helps notify people on the status of buses on their bus route. It collects GPS locations of others intending to catch the bus and shows these locations.
