Do you like to run but you lack motivation? Do you feel like running alone is lame and boring? Not anymore. Race the bus and beat it! Beat it! is a mobile application that challenges you to race a bus to a system chosen station. The application accesses the open transport data of the Swiss cities and localizes you in relation to them. Every challenge met awards you with points.

• Goal: motivate a person to run
• User profile: a young person under 40, living in a city and having a limited time to run
• Activity Loops:
  • user picks the mode : running or walking
  • the application presents the challenge, the user accepts or declines to take the challenge
  • the user is positioned on the map along the bus station and the countdown timer

  • when the challenge is met, the user is offered a new challenges more difficult.
