BusBot Pakistan — Urdu Voice Bus Route Finder
Pakistan's first AI-powered public bus guide — speak in Urdu, get your route. Built for Google AI Seekho 2026 competition, covering Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad with community-driven route data.
Last updated April 2026
Overview
Pakistan's first AI-powered public bus guide. Millions of daily commuters in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad rely on buses with no reliable digital map — route information is shared by word of mouth, and most apps are English-only. BusBot Pakistan solves this by letting users speak their origin and destination in Urdu and receive a conversational route response in the same language.
Built in one day for the AI Seekho 2026 competition (Google + Government of Pakistan, App Banao track) using Google AI Studio Vibe Coding. Deployed on Google Cloud Run with a fully RTL Urdu interface and Pakistan Green theme.
How It Works
| Step | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Input | User speaks or types a route query in Urdu (e.g. “Johar Town se Liberty kaise jaun?”) |
| 2. Voice | Web Speech API transcribes Urdu speech to text natively in Chrome/Android |
| 3. AI Processing | Gemini 3 Flash Preview receives query + city context + pre-seeded route database |
| 4. Reasoning | AI identifies origin/destination, matches stops, and formats a friendly Urdu reply |
| 5. Output | Bus number, boarding/alighting stops, estimated fare, and travel time — in conversational Urdu |
Key Features
- Urdu Voice Input: Tap the mic and speak — Web Speech API handles transcription natively
- Multi-City Support: Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad with pre-seeded route data
- Community Driven: Logged-in users can add new routes to help fellow commuters (Firebase Google Sign-In)
- Smart Caching: LocalStorage caching of results for lightning-fast repeated queries
- Automatic Retry Logic: Multi-stage retries with backoff to handle platform spikes
- One-Tap Sharing: Share routes via WhatsApp/social on mobile, copy to clipboard on desktop
- RTL Urdu Interface: Fully right-to-left layout with Pakistan Green theme
- Persistent Preferences: Remembers your last selected city via LocalStorage
Route Database
| City | Pre-seeded Routes |
|---|---|
| Lahore | Bus 27, 5, 12, 8, 3 |
| Karachi | W11, 3A, 4K, K-11, N-3 |
| Islamabad | Terminal 1, Feeder 3, Metro Feeder |
Competition Context
Built for AI Seekho 2026 — a national AI competition organized by Google and the Government of Pakistan under the App Banao (Build an App) track. The project was built entirely in one day using Google AI Studio's Vibe Coding workflow, demonstrating how AI tools can enable rapid development of high-utility civic applications.
