Nowadays, companies have the need for intelligent transport systems (ITS), which benefit both users and the company, because it is more efficient in the use of available resources, infrastructure, and information.

The aim of this project is to implement a mobile application for the management of bus routes and timetables on line 11 of the Tungurahua Public Transport Cooperative, in the processes related to the management and monitoring of the route, providing a technological tool for this purpose.

It also has functionalities for drivers, who can send their location when they are on their route.

The application was developed using the Flutter framework with the Dart programming language and Visual Studio Code as the development IDE, in addition, firebase services were used to manage the database in the cloud, account registration, all this in conjunction with the Mobile - D application as a development methodology with the aim of having greater flexibility and speed in the face of changes during development.
