This is awesome! Genuinely curious about how you're keeping this sustainable in the long run as more users start using the platform. Have you looked into carbon offsets or similar methods?

They might use serverless infrastructure and rely on cloud providers with renewable energy commitments. This way, they could minimize their carbon footprint.

I can see how this works in a city context but how would rural areas be impacted? Bus routes may not be as regular as larger, densely populated places.

We're exploring carbon offsets, and I'm glad you brought that up, transportfan. We've also optimized performance with serverless functions and a CDN for faster loading times regardless of location. Nice to see interest in this project, and I hope this helps with rural public transport gaps, CleanCode.

Neat idea, hoping it positively impacts commuting and public transit usage.

Do you have any thoughts about the potential impact of autonomous vehicles on public transportation and how this project fits in?

Future_thinker, once roads are ready for an AV takeover, this app could allow route management for public and private autonomous vehicles, decreasing congestion in cities.

Great initiative. I wonder, could there be integration with personal finance tools for users to track transportation costs and compare them to other means like personal vehicles?
