Your App: The New Way to Ride in Athens

Discover how our app transforms your bus-stop experience into an interactive, real-time journey.


In a city as dynamic as Athens, waiting for the bus can feel like wasted time. That’s why we built Dromolog—an all-in-one app that turns every bus stop into a portal of information, engagement, and convenience. Whether you’re a daily commuter or a first-time visitor, here’s how our app redefines public transport in the Greek capital.


📸 1. QR-Powered Instant Arrival Info

Forget hunting for routes on a map or typing stop names. Simply:

  1. Scan the QR code on the bus shelter
  2. Get live arrival times for every line serving that stop
  3. View countdown timers and headway charts, so you know exactly when the next three buses arrive

This zero-typing interface slashes friction, especially during peak hours or in bad weather.


🗺️ 2. Dynamic Route Overviews

Tap into a zoomable route map showing:

  • All stops on the line, with estimated travel times between them
  • Transfer points to Metro, tram, and other bus lines
  • Service alerts and real-time detours

Route overlays adjust automatically to show only the segments you need, saving screen space and data.


🎮 3. Games & Local Trivia While You Wait

Why stare at empty pavement when you can:

  • Play a quick puzzle themed around Athens landmarks
  • Answer local trivia—get points for identifying stops near historic sites
  • Earn badges for scanning multiple QR codes in one day

These micro-games boost engagement and make every wait feel shorter.


🌟 4. Points of Interest & Insider Tips

Each stop’s screen includes a curated list of nearby attractions:

  • Cafés and street food vendors popular with locals
  • Hidden viewpoints for skyline photos
  • Walking shortcuts to avoid congested sidewalks

Our community-driven “Local Picks” feature lets users suggest and upvote new spots.


🔔 5. Personalized Alerts & Reminders

Never miss your bus again with:

  • “Last bus home” notifications based on your habitual routes
  • Delay alerts when your usual line runs behind schedule
  • Calendar integration for event-based reminders (e.g., catch the 550 at 18:00 for tonight’s concert)

Customizable quiet hours ensure you only get alerts when you want them.


📊 6. Usage Analytics & Rewards

Track your travel patterns:

  • Weekly summary of trips taken, distance traveled, and time saved
  • Eco-impact dashboard showing CO₂ avoided by choosing bus over car
  • Loyalty points for frequent usage, redeemable at partner cafés and shops

🔮 7. Roadmap & Future Features

We’re just getting started. Upcoming innovations include:

  • Voice-activated stop discovery for hands-free operation
  • Smartwatch widgets with one-tap QR scanning
  • Augmented-reality overlays showing bus positions through your camera
  • Crowd-sourced delay reports with instant rerouting suggestions

In Summary

Dromolog isn’t just an app—it’s a new way to ride in Athens. By combining real-time data, local insights, and playful interaction, we turn every stop into an opportunity. Next time you scan a QR code, you’re not just waiting—you’re exploring Athens in real time.
