TobusR 2
Mr. Yoji Shirai

A new type of web app that makes Toei Bus search easy and convenient

TobusR 2 is a web application that uses map data.

With a few simple operations, you can display on a map the routes and estimated arrival times of buses in operation. You can also see information about the surrounding areas, the population of the areas, and even the type of bus (hydrogen/light oil), so you can enjoy the feeling of riding a metropolitan bus at home while you cannot go out as much as you would like due to Covid-19 outbreak.

Toei Bus is a very convenient public transportation system that mainly runs in the center of Tokyo, but the bus routes and timetables posted at the bus stops are not always easy to understand. We have developed this app to help solve this problem.

Navisuke
imigner

You can take care of the troublesome route search work just by entering the schedule.

"Navisuke" is a schedule-linked navigation app for public transportation users who want to be free from the troublesome route search at the start of movement. Once users register their schedule, the app notifies users with push-type information on “means of transportation and additional info" at the necessary timing. This way, you can automate your unconscious morning routine from the time your schedule is fixed to the time you arrive at the destination of the day.

The following are examples of such routine tasks. By using Navisuke, the tasks marked with “★” only require you to check the Navisuke notifications.

①Add your confirmed schedule to Google Calendar.
②★ Search for the means of transportation to your destination on the day or the day before.
③★ Check the weather forecast before leaving home.
④★ Check the train delay information and proceed to your destination.
⑤★ Search for restaurants that thoroughly implement COVID-19 infection prevention measures and have a good time with friends.

Tokyo Bus Walk
Mr. Ryo Kobayashi

An app that combines walking and public transport rides

Tokyo Bus Walk is an app to combine walking and public transportation for leisurely outing. This app supports easy walks by walking on the way out and returning by bus, and walks in faraway places by taking advantage of the mobility of the bus.

Many of you may feel that you are not getting enough exercise due to restriction in mobility in the COVID-19 age. One of the most low-impact exercises that you can do is to take a walk. The idea behind the development was to increase the diversity of walking paths by making good use of Tokyo's transportation network of buses and railways, so that people can go further and make new discoveries.

This app visualizes the bus stops and train stations around any point on the map, and visualizes the area that you can go without transferring from the bus stop as a bus route line service area. You can also display an elevation map superimposed on the map to help you make decisions about your walking route, and display departure information from bus stops and train stations to let you know which bus or train is truly available.
