Real-time bus tracking: BlaBlaCar steps up a gear
Founded in 2006, BlaBlaCar is a car-sharing platform that connects drivers and passengers for shared journeys, reducing costs and ecological impact. With BlaBlaCar Bus, it extends its offer to long-distance mobility in Europe, providing a flexible and economical transportation solution.
Context

Solution
To meet BlaBlaCar's needs, our team designed a new page in the application using Webflow. This interface, powered by a custom API, retrieves and displays live bus arrival times. At the same time, users receive SMS text messages to track schedules in real time, making the travel experience more fluid and predictable. Thanks to Workato, data flows between internal and external systems have been precisely orchestrated, ensuring seamless integration and automatic updating of information. This solution reinforces travelers' confidence, while illustrating BlaBlaCar's commitment to innovation and constant improvement of its services.
