Scope of work
Before the app was developed, users faced challenges such as lack of information on bus arrivals, difficult ticket purchasing, absence of a centralized traffic updates system, and no structured view of parking availability. The goal was to integrate all city transportation and parking services into one simple, functional solution accessible to everyone.
With the development of the Zadar City app, all previous system issues were successfully resolved. The app allows users to purchase bus and parking tickets directly from their mobile devices, view timetables, and track buses in real time. Users receive reminders for upcoming bus arrivals and notifications about delays or route changes, ensuring timely and accurate transport information.
In addition, the app enables users to view available parking spaces on the map in real time and to easily pay for services using the CityCard, which is digitally stored in the app. This greatly simplifies daily city mobility, saves time, reduces stress, and makes the city more accessible, efficient, and pleasant to live in or visit
consolidates all purchased transport and parking tickets, shows the current account balance, and allows easy top-ups. It also provides access to timetables for better travel planning.
We aimed to keep the platform easy to integrate and fast to ensure it does not impact the user experience. The ZadarCity technology stack is:
