Abstract: The project entitled Eco Friendly Route Finder (Transit Buddy) focuses on developing a simple, interactive, and efficient navigation application that helps users find routes between two different locations with ease. The system is designed to allow users to register and log in with their credentials, manage their profile, and then enter the source and destination addresses. Once the inputs are provided, the application generates a polyline route that visually indicates the path to be followed and finally redirects the user to Google Maps for actual navigation support. The main objective of this project is to minimize the confusion faced by users in switching between input interfaces and map services by providing a clean, direct, and user-friendly flow. In the current digital environment, many applications are overloaded with features that often complicate the basic task of route finding. This project, therefore, attempts to simplify the process by focusing only on essential requirements such as location entry, route visualization, and map redirection. It ensures that even casual users, such as students or city travelers, can quickly access the information they need without unnecessary complexity. The system has been developed with the aim of enhancing usability, accessibility, and interactivity. Another important aspect of the project is its potential to expand in the future. Though the present version does not claim to replace advanced navigation systems, it creates a strong foundation for enhancements such as voice-based commands, route saving, integration with calendar events, and traffic-aware suggestions. It also provides opportunities for incorporating eco-friendly routing features by integrating real-time traffic and environmental data.
