ClearRoute: bus route & carpool app

Portfolio project

The problem

Shift-working parents re-search the same bus route every day, and screen reader users struggle with text-heavy transit apps. ClearRoute helps them find, save and trust their route, with a carpool as backup.

What I did

Researched 5 competitors and built 2 personas: a tired, shift-working parent and a physician who uses a screen reader.
Designed saved routes on Home, clear status badges, driver profiles and a consistent layout for screen readers.
Tested the lo-fi prototype with 5 people (1 moderated, 4 remote).

What I found

Retrieving a saved route and finding a backup were fast for everyone. Saving the first route was where people got stuck. Users also asked for driver ratings before trusting a ride.

What I changed

Clearer time field, a star rating on drivers, "Saved" in the main navigation and a confirmation screen after requesting a ride.
