Mangalore Bus Routes Finder

Mangalore Bus Routes Finder is a simple yet powerful website that provides bus routes for Mangalore local buses. Unlike major cities, Mangalore’s bus network relies heavily on local knowledge, making it difficult for newcomers to navigate. This project solves that problem.

It enables users to find routes between stops, view suggestions, and even save frequently traveled paths.

The project focuses on accessibility, community impact, and technical innovation, making it a valuable tool for the local population.

Key Features

  • Smart Route Finder – Efficient algorithmic route finding to get you from A to B.
  • Comprehensive Route Database – Extensive coverage of Mangalore’s bus network.
  • Multi-Transfer Support – Intelligently calculates routes with necessary transfers.
  • Save Journeys – Save frequently used routes for quick access.
  • Responsive Design – Works seamlessly on desktop and mobile devices.
  • Real-time Suggestions – Instant route recommendations processed locally.

Tech Stack

The project is built using modern web technologies to ensure performance and scalability:

  • Next.js – App Router for efficient routing and server-side rendering
  • React – Component-based UI architecture
  • TypeScript – Type-safe development
  • Tailwind CSS – Utility-first styling for a custom design system
  • Graph Algorithms – A custom weighted graph implementation where stops are nodes and routes are edges. It utilizes advanced traversal algorithms to calculate the shortest paths, optimize for transfers, and rank routes based on efficiency.

Project Goals

This project was developed with several key objectives:

  • Community Impact: Solving real-world transportation challenges for Mangalore residents and simplifying navigation for newcomers to the city.
  • Data Digitization: Systematically mapping and structuring the decentralized bus network to create a reliable digital source of truth.
  • Innovation: Integrating intelligent route suggestions to simplify travel.
  • User Experience: Creating an intuitive and accessible interface for all users.
  • Open Source: Sharing knowledge and tools with the developer community.
