Human dependency on technology cause rapid development in innovative smartphone applications worldwide. These applications exist to ease out common existing problems, such as finding the right transportation for travelling in a particular area. The traveller may consider several factors before choosing the transportation for the long journey, such as date and departure time, ticket prices and also the time taken to reach the destination. In this project, a smartphone application called ‘EasyGo’ is proposed. ‘EasyGo’ is an application that helps travellers to search for available bus, train or airplane tickets, according to their preference. The Android Studio platform is used to develop the application and required communication with the respective databases. The information about travelling details is extracted from the created database and connected flight application programming interface (API). This application should be able to help Android smartphone users to search the transportation tickets for travelling more easily by providing the exact time with a price list of available buses, trains and flights ticket, according to their destinations and departure date.References
