Learn more about Xerox's App Go Bengaluru

After Go LA and Go Denver, Xerox is planning to introduce an app Go Bengaluru for daily commuters in Bengaluru.

The app aggregates and calculates the time, cost, carbon footprint, and health benefits from walking, biking, driving your own car, parking, taking public transit, as well as the emerging private transportation options, giving users a variety of ways to reach their destination. Discovering user needs for combining public and private transportation options, Xerox researchers designed and delivered this smart city solution.

The app takes an individual’s destination and desired arrival time, and calculates the different routes available, categorized by “sooner,” “cheaper,” and “greener.”

Details provided include length of trip, price, number of calories burned, and how much carbon dioxide is released into the air – allowing users to choose the best option to meet their needs. Customers can also save trips they take often, like from home to work, in their “My Rides” area of the app.

Working with its partners, Xerox will integrate more transportation service providers into the app as the pilot progresses so users can choose from a wider range of options. The app will also pilot ridesharing later this year so that users can carpool with people traveling in the same direction in a way that give the control over route and co-passengers back to users. After enough data is collected, users will also be able to create a profile where they can set goals related to their personal fitness, financials and time, and track them within the app.

The Go Bengaluru app is now available for iOS and Android systems in the AppStore and Google Play stores. Web users can also access it from Go Bengaluru website available at www.goblrapp.com.
