Often it happens to bring valuables, fragile or bulky objects with you and before getting on a public transport we always hope to find a seat. Through our implementation we want to provide the end user with this information in real time for various types of public transport, accessible via the website.
This project aims to meet the needs of those who, taking public transport, need to know how many people are actually on the vehicle so that they can choose whether to get on or not thanks to this information.
We can summarize NowSeat in "Real-time availability of seats on various public transport".
