passengers was the major problem that led the researcher to conduct this project. The

researcher created the Traveller mobile application that would help in solving the

problem of providing transport services.

In this project, the researcher used Waterfall Methodology, In this methodology, the

researcher used techniques such as Dataflow diagrams ,UML Techniques and prototyping, to

come up with the system requirements.

The requirements analysis, testing and modeling techniques such as Use cases, ER

Diagrams and sequence diagrams were used by researchers to model the functionality of the

system. On the testing of the system, researcher used unit testing, system integration testing and

usability testing.

Researcher used Android as the platform to develop the Mobile application and also

researcher used Web application developments tools and languages such as PHP, My SQL,

and Query to develop the web application.
