Three years is enough time to get a degree, learn a new language, see the world. It’s also enough to create an application that will help Warsaw residents and people who do not know the city or have mobility issues to find the optimal route in the metro. Such a plan has just been implemented in the “Smart City” Interfaculty Scientific Club.
