Catbot is a SMS bot which helps people to catch their buses (only if they are fast enough) !\
The usage of Catbot is quite simple:
- Share your current location
- Tell Catbot the bus ID (e.g. 71D, 75 or 61A)
- Tell Catbot the bus direction (inbound or outbound)
- Catbot will give your two closest bus stops with the bus around your location. Choose the stop suits
Catbot will tell you in how many minutes your bus will arrive. Then you can start running.
Tools I have used in this project:
- Language: Ruby
- Platforms: heroku and twilio
- APis: Port authority and Google maps
