User Scenario:
Lisa is a Western Sydney Student who has just finished a class, she knows she needs to be at Parramatta Station at 3:30 for the train, so she has time to catch her bus from Penrith at 4:10 to get home. As she approves the front of the EA building, she notices a giant line that runs for 100m for the bus with no buses waiting. She checks the app to see where the nearest bus is and what time the next few buses are coming. This gives her time and an idea whether it’s faster to walk to the Parramatta city campus or wait it out for the bus to get to the train on time.
