Prototype

Welcome to the Interactive Prototype for the OBA2.0 iOS application. Provided in this prototype are three tasks that users are able to interact with.

Tasks are relatively open-ended, so to help guide users throughout tasks, portions of the prototype are unavailable. Additionally, some features are unavailable due to the fact that these restricted features are unchanged from the original OneBusAway application.

Select a number above to receive a prompt as well as clear steps to perform each task.

Task 1

You have used the OneBusAway application before and now want to set up a new ‘Favorite’ for all busses heading southbound on Route 72 that go through a nearby bus stop.

• Open up the 'OBA2' application.
• Select 'Route' on the map's integrated search bar.
• Enter in 'route 72' into the text input area and press 'Return'.
• Choose the nearest southbound stop.
• Select 'Favorite Stop' and save the favorite's name as '72 to Home'.
• Your filtered search/stop is now favorited for easy access.

Task 2

A friend calls you up and tells you to come over to the Cheesecake Factory ASAP. Having no idea how to get there, you use OneBusAway2 to find a bus to your destination.

• Open up the 'OBA2' application.
• Select 'Directions' on the map's integrated search bar.
• Your current location is automatically set, so you simply enter 'cheesecake factory' into Point B and press 'Return'.
• Finally, select the first bus stop on your route (marked with a 31) to view the earliest bus to begin your trip.

Task 3

You add an alert for your routine commute on Route 68 Mon, Wed, Fri at 3:30pm to work. Later in the day as 3:30pm draws near, you find yourself running very late. Your alert pops up and you can't make it to the alerted bus. Interact with the alert to find out when the next bus is coming and set an alert for it.

• Open up the 'OBA2' application.
• Select 'Alerts' on the navigation bar and press '+ Add Alert'.
• Choose 'Stop' and select the closest stop to you.
• Next, select 'Route & Time' and select 3:30pm.
• Change other settings for your alert and then press 'Save' when done.
• Your alert pops up after a while. Select 'Next Bus'.
• Press 'Set Alert' to set a temporary alert for the next buss and press 'OK' on the final notification.
