SINGAPORE - Three 19-year-old Ngee Ann Polytechnic students, Matthew Lee, Kok Jian Yu and Jeremy Lim, have developed a voice-assisted app called TrAVEl (Travel Assistant for the Visually Impaired and the Elderly), to help people get from place to place more easily.
It guides the user throughout his journey, including any change of buses, by using GPS to track where he is.
He can either say his destination or enter it by text.
The app lets him know when his bus arrives, and gives a running commentary of the bus stops en route, as well as alerting the traveller if he needs to change buses.
