3. Idea
Everyday we go out for earning our livelihood and commute by
different kinds of vehicles. But how conveniently we do it? In case of
public transport, we have to wait for a long time not knowing where it
is. Surely we can track it via GPS Device. But cost is a factor and most
transport owners will not agree to bear the expense. Then what about
your smartphone which has a GPS sensor? It’s time to grip that to
knock out the dilemma!
LOCAFIE, a community-based location sharing mobile application is
born to make commuting a lot better experience. With LOCAFIE you
can share or track real-time location of university bus, office bus, public
bus, truck or even private vehicle carrying your friends, family and
literally anything, and everything, anytime and anywhere.
The way LOCAFIE works is one will share location and transport
information via LOCAFIE from smartphone and everyone will see the
shared details accordingly.
4. Problem
So many problems we face when we don’t know the transport location and here is a few:
● A student awaits bus in picking point and doesn’t know whether it’s gone or about to
come, gets tensed especially if there’s an exam or presentation or important deadline.
● When a service holder doesn’t know if s/he already missed the transport on the route or
still stuck in traffic.
● You make a phone call to your bosom friend who assures you to reach the destination
shortly but in reality he/she didn’t set out yet. No less than a disaster!
● When you realize your purse/ wallet/ mobile is missing after getting down and you are
clueless of the current location of the transport. What can you do except cursing?
● Someone, advised by ticket man to buy ticket as the bus is approaching almost, keeps
waiting for countless moments and has to ask the counter about the location in every 2
minutes.
● You’ve hired a taxi / CNG or board a bus & going through unknown route with almost
missing heartbeat and your family member cannot trace your whereabouts. Very difficult
scenario!
The list goes on and on!!! Let’s jump out to solution.

6. Solution
For every problem stated in the previous slide there is one solution
coming, which is LOCAFIE.
LOCAFIE uses a community of sharers and trackers to solve the
problem.
Someone on the transport will share their location via LOCAFIE for
either letting their friends, parents or anyone track them. And
everyone will be able to track the transport using the location info
they share from the bus. Sometimes there might not be any reason for
them to share except helping others to track the transport.
It is currently active in International Islamic University Chittagong with
150+ volunteers sharing their location while in bus to help others track
buses.
