Case Study – Empowering Movement of People for a Transportation Agency

With a high volume of daily commuters, public transportation is burdened by ever-growing challenges – and only technology can help relieve the stress for both people and operators. One of our partners, a Public Transport Agency, aimed to significantly boost the usability of its commuter touchpoints for the train system.  

USER delivered an end-to-end project spanning tasks from research to product development, testing, and deployment. 

Building user-centric journeys for the public

The focus for the project was understanding user needs, designing intuitive interfaces, conducting usability testing, and incorporating embedded UX tracking tools in the front-end interface. This enabled system administrators to effectively monitor and implement continuous optimisation. It also guided commuters with a user-friendly interface and established efficient top-up systems for passengers and operators. The feedback system gave operators valuable data they can use to continue improving the system.

From topping up credits to additional value features such as rewards and vouchers system, users enjoyed convenience at every interaction point.

Streamlined payment processes and transaction management, reducing delays and enhancing efficiency for both commuters and operators.
