busRoutes launched

well, it has just been brought to my notice that busRoutes has already been launched on RWorld with much fan fare. im proud to say that i was the one who did everything frm its requirements analysis, design and coding. its one hell of an aapp. every time it went in for testing the whole testing team would have its fingers crossed. thhe app caused them enormous problems due to the amount of processing it did. heres a brief description of the app. so guys n gals who have a RIM check it out on RWorld-> Hot n New-> busroutes. later it would be shifted to RWorld->guides->busRoutes.

BusRoutes is an application designed to help the average middle class commuter with his daily commutation problem in cities both large and small. Soon to be on R-World the application has been designed to provide the user with an appropriate array of choice of bus route numbers from the source to the desired destination bus stop. The commuter can make a final decision on which bus he would like to choose depending on information such as frequency of bus, time of journey, type of bus, and fare for journey etc. as provided by the application. The application has been carefully designed to provide the user with a best possible alternative even in the case of a direct route being non-existant. The user can search for a bus route in 3 possible manners. The first being the direct search wherein the user can input directly the source and destination bus stops. In case of a direct route being non-existent the application suggests some routes which touch the same source area as provided by the user. The second option is an area search wherein the users can query the existing database even if he is unsure of the bus stop names. He can do so by using the specific area names. The third option is of an indirect search which the user can use in cases where a direct bus is unavailable at a required time or unavailable at all. The user can enter the source and destination bus stops and the application will display the user one or more break journeys (max 4). The break points are actually a list of the most connected bus stops in the specific city. Currently the application is up and running for two cities (Mumbai and Bangalore) but can be scaled up to N number of cities.
