Abstract
Airports have become a widely used form of transportation, and communication from the airport to cities is key. In this sense, a common problem that passengers encounter when they arrive at the airport is finding a way to get to the city. There are several alternatives such as metro, taxi, bus or train. However, in recent years shuttle buses have emerged. It is a private bus that transports a small number of people so that the cost of the trip is shared by all passengers. The main problem with this transport is calculating the most optimal route for passenger stops so that they reach their destinations as soon as possible. This problem is exacerbated when the city is large. Generally the driver calculates the route based on his experience or aided by a geographic route application. However in these cases, it must calculate the routes one by one. This work presents an Android mobile application that implements a service aimed at managing this type of transport, in a way that makes it easier for the passenger to contract a service online. On the other hand, it makes it easier for the driver to find the optimal route of stops using the information of the destinations registered by the passengers and the geolocation information of the driver’s mobile.
