MARTA Mobile App Redesign Project Overview

This document is a case study detailing the redesign of the MARTA mobile app by Charter Global. The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) operates a comprehensive public transport system in the Atlanta area, which includes bus routes and a rapid transit rail system. The objective of the app redesign was to enhance the user experience and simplify maintenance. The challenges faced included the need for real-time location features, improved navigation, and a more user-friendly interface. The new app features a home screen displaying current location and nearby stops, real-time train and bus availability, trip planning capabilities, and a favorites option for frequently used routes. The solution involved a hybrid technology stack, allowing for a single code base across mobile platforms, thus improving scalability and performance. The document outlines the collaboration between MARTA and Charter Global, emphasizing the technical expertise and resources provided by Charter Global to achieve the project goals.
