🚍 TransitConnect - Discover Real Local Routes

Find the routes locals actually take.

TransitConnect is a community-driven, full-stack web application designed to help you discover and share local transit routes. Unlike generic mapping services, TransitConnect focuses on the “hidden” connections and neighborhood shortcuts—the routes that locals actually use—to provide a more authentic and efficient travel experience.
