MBTA Navigation Assistance

This application helps direct users who are unfamiliar with the MBTA’s orange line, and the inbound/outbound system used by the T. Made using Adobe XD, the app asks users to input their origin stop and destination stop. This information is then used to direct the traveler to the correct area in the train station, which they can wait at until the train arrives. The app also includes a notification that alerts users when they are near their destination stop.
