OUGD504 - Studio Brief 02 - Peer-led Crit (Wireframes and Initial Ideas)

• Look at the First Bus service website - supports a simple user experience process, whereby users just have type in their destination and the website will give a feed of live bus times alongside service numbers and the specific bus stop locations needed.
• Also look at the Leeds Light Night interactive map which pinpoints routes/destinations and bus service numbers needed to get around the various venues of Light Night.
• Do not make the user experience too complicated - focus on taxi services only rather than opening out the interface to transport in general since information on bus and train services could be found just as well elsewhere at various stops and stations - however, leave the interactive map feature pinpointing the nearest bus stops and train stations alongside the user's current location to find whereabouts to gain such additional information.
• Live feed is an interesting and practical idea, however -
  
  What happens if the user has to move locations in order to be closer to their designated pick up point and something changes in regards to their journey? Users will not have access to this information if they have moved locations.
  
  POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS:
• Users have to create a user profile and login to use the service - or rather than having to create a profile, users are able to login using their card which would be used to pay for their taxi service, and have to enter a pin code as a form of password.
• Produce a smaller, separate LED screen which is present at designated pick up points and locations which shows a live feed of current bookings, which allows users to view any time changes to their journey regardless of whether they have moved from the booking location or not - although this solution avoids having to continue logging into the server to view information and frees up the interface for other users to book journeys, the system could get over-complicated and confusing since information of bookings from all across the city would have to be synced with these LED screens.
