BTR (Beefree Transit Railway) is a local based transit services
company. The IT Manager would like to create a simple mobile app
for customers to search for route information.
As an IT consultant, you are requested to design the UI of the app.
The app has two screens only, the main search screen and the search
result screen.
For the main search screen, it allows users to specify:
The departure station
The destination station
Ticket type (either Adult or Child) and
The member status of the BTR club.
For the search result screen, it provides information about:
The departure station
The destination station
Estimated Journey Time
Ticket Fare and
A map for the route.
Users can press a button to obtain the detailed route information
from the BTR website on the search result screen (you DO NOT need
to design the website).
To manage the train schedule, each scheduled train has a “Train
Number”. The current format is AABBTTTTSC, where is A, B, T, S and
C are numbers (0-9).
The first two digits indicate the departure terminus (e.g.
01=Tsuen Wan, 02=Kwun Tong);
The third and fourth digits represent the destination
terminus
The fifth to the eighth digits indicate the scheduled departure
time from the
departure terminus in 24 hours format (e.g. 1305 for 1:05 pm)
The second last digit indicates whether the train is a regular
service (1= regular,
2=additional)and
The last digit is the number of compartments of the train.
For example, 0102130528 means an additional service from Tsuen Wan
to Kwun Tung which leaves Tsuen Wan at 13:05, with 8 cars.
