Biker Phoenix

Final project - CIS 550: Database and Information Systems, University of Pennsylvania. Fall 2017.

Description

Biker Phoenix is a web-app that allows people to find routes using a combination of bike, subway and walking. Platforms such as Google Maps assume that the user either carries their own bike or none at all. We use Citi Bike database JSON and combine that with subway stations database of New York City and calculate the shortest distance using a combination of all three, allowing the user to rent a bike and drop it off during the journey.
