Daily commuting is frustrating — long waits and congestion push people toward private vehicles, driving up noise, carbon emissions, and VOCs. Transit Rewards encourages drivers to choose public transportation through a simple, rewarding incentive system.
Commuters log their transit hours and earn reward points they can redeem later, making eco-friendly commuting habits easier to adopt.
The problem
Long waits and congestion push commuters toward private vehicles, raising emissions and noise. There was little incentive to choose public transport.
Our approach
- Built cross-platform mobile apps with React Native on a MERN backend.
- Created a system for commuters to log commute hours and accrue reward points.
- Added redemption flows that turn points into rewards to reinforce eco-friendly habits.
The solution
A user-friendly rewards platform that encourages drivers to switch to public transportation — logging commute hours, earning points, and redeeming them — promoting a cleaner environment through positive incentives.
