About
SBS Transit is a leading public transport operator in Singapore, serving millions of commuters daily. The objective of this project was to overhaul their mobile ecosystem using the OutSystems platform, consolidating disparate transport services—bus, train, and cycling—into a single, high-performance “super-app.” We focused on real-time reliability and universal accessibility to ensure seamless door-to-door journeys for a diverse urban population.
A cohesive style system that strengthens brand trust through consistent colour, typography, and imagery. The result: an elegant, approachable interface that communicates reliability and elevates user perception.
Challenges
* Data Fragmentation Consolidating live data from buses, trains, and cycling systems into one interface. * Legacy Performance Constraints Overcoming latency and accuracy issues in traditional transit apps. * Inclusive Navigation Needs Designing for commuters across age groups and accessibility requirements. * Low-Code Optimization Limits Delivering real-time performance within an OutSystems environment.
