catchpt

Is an application that can be used to catch any mode of public transport in major cities throughout Australia. Instead of using multiple applications, Catch PT enables you to plan a journey, purchase a ticket, and save relevant information all in one app. It makes catching public transport more streamlined and a more pleasurable experience.

Research was undertaken focussing on the experience of people catching public transport.
This research influenced the final functionality of the appliction including a feature that allows the user to see which vehicles are heavily crowded and offer alternative options for them to use.

Prototype

The research conducted influenced what features would be included in the application.

Items included where:

  • Journey Planner
  • In App Ticket Purchasing
  • Real time journey map
  • Saved locations
  • Review

USABILITY Testing

Usability testing was conducted, users noted how easy it was to navigate through screens and liked that there was real time navigation and a My CatchPT section dedicated to their tickets and trips.

There were some issues with the product have been identified: clearer labelling of tasks and scrolling and full page access. These issues would be taken into consideration if the application is to be built.
