About this app

Have you ever wondered while waiting for a bus whether you will have time to walk to the next stop before your bus comes? Or what if you choose your bus based on how many more steps you will get in your day, without wasting time on it?

Usually algorithms choose the closest bus stop, and do not give you other nearby stops as alternatives. This removes the opportunity to spend your idle time on something more useful, such as walking to the next stop.

10,000 steps a day is a myth, even less is enough. Set a goal of 5,000! I made this app for those who have thought the same as me. Can you use that waiting time for something else? What if there is another stop near you, where you will only lose a minute or two by going there, but in exchange you will get 1,000 more steps in your day? Is that a worthwhile trade-off for you? If so, try this app!

This is by no means a complete application with all the features (yet), but the purpose of this is to first find its potential users, i.e. passengers who are ready to walk.
