A cross-platform mobile app for navigating Mauritius via public transport # MoBouzer A cross-platform mobile app for navigating Mauritius by bus (and soon via the metro too!) based on public transport data and user contributions to OpenStreetMaps. --> --> ## Screenshots _Soon_ ## Features - [x] Shows bus stops throughout the island (currently ~800 bus stops) - [x] Shows bus lines (currently ~5 bus lines) - [ ] Provides directions for walking & bus routes to your destination [in progress] - [ ] Calculates estimated arrival time/travel duration - [ ] Estimates time for buses to arrive at specific bus stops - [ ] Based on fixed schedule - [ ] Based on real time data - [ ] Calculates fare for your trip ## Project Layout This repository is the home of the mobile app as well as all associated services to run and manage the application, in a monorepo structure using PNPM workspaces. - `apps/mobile-app` is the React Native app itself made with Expo and built with EAS Build - `apps/admin-cli` is a small CLI tool made to manage the data on Firestore (for bus stops & bus lines) that's used in the mobile application - `apps/website` is the website built with NextJS 13 and hosted on Vercel - `packages/functions` contains serverless functions running on GCP related to MoBouzer and the MoBouzer GCP project itself - `packages/shared` holds interfaces/procedures used in both the admin CLI and the mobile app, hence the name (_obviously_) ## Acknowledgements - This project wouldn't have been started if I hadn't come across the awesome `mauritius-buses.com` website where people can get routes to their destination and the buses they can take to get there.
