QuestBus is a smart university transportation management platform designed to modernize campus bus operations, fleet coordination, and student transportation services through real-time GPS tracking and mobile-first transit management. Built with Flutter and Firebase, the system enables transportation departments to manage buses, routes, bus stops, drivers, incident reports, and operational workflows through a centralized digital platform for students, drivers, and administrators.
01 — The Challenge
What needed solving
Universities managing transportation operations often lacked centralized fleet visibility, real-time bus tracking, and structured transportation management workflows. Students had limited visibility into bus arrival times, transportation departments struggled to coordinate routes and drivers efficiently, and incident reporting processes were disconnected or manual. The organization required a scalable transportation management solution capable of handling live tracking, route management, fleet monitoring, and multi-user transportation operations from a unified platform.
02 — The Approach
How I solved it
QuestBus was developed as a cross-platform university transportation management system using Flutter, Firebase, and Google Maps integration. The platform provides real-time bus tracking, route management, fleet monitoring, incident reporting, and transportation administration workflows through dedicated interfaces for students, drivers, and administrators. Transportation departments can manage bus routes, stops, drivers, and operational incidents while students access live transportation visibility and schedule updates directly from the mobile application.
