PARA
PARA is a multimodal routing app designed to provide clarity to fragmented transportation systems in third-world countries. While Sydney's system is designed so that, most of the time, you know exactly where to catch a train or bus, exactly how long you'll wait, and exactly how much you'll pay.
In SEA or the Philippines, a lot of these elements are left to chance. Our mission is to provide digital access to reliable, affordable transportation by uniting fragmented public transport networks through one app in the palm of your hand.
We envision a future where everyday commuters can navigate their city with confidence while we map the world one ride at a time. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has prioritised modernising public transit, including digital fare payments and real-time information systems.
LTFRBs push to introduce GPS tracking on jeepneys and mandated digital payment pilots demonstrates regulatory alignment with PARAs model. This fragmentation leaves a clear opportunity for PARA to become the single point of truth in all things transport.
