This document outlines a transportation planning app called HowToGo. It lists team members Wu Wei, Ali, Daniel, Minh, and Qiu Long and describes addressing transportation problems when existing tools like Google Maps do not provide coverage. HowToGo would give users more transportation options like taking public transit and taxis, showing estimated travel times and costs. It would also provide real-time taxi availability information to help users decide where to take taxis. The next steps are to refine the user interface and routing engine and get permission to continue using transportation data. The app uses
