Tuk Tuk
An app that helps users to get a delightful journey on Rickshaws
Time frame
3 weeks I August 2019
My role
UX researcher, UX designer, UI designer, Interaction designer

Project brief
Design a mobile app that delivers a seamless experience. Design thinking is the approach taken for the tuk-tuk app. This app would help any individual who uses rickshaws for their journey. With this app, users can save time and money. Wouldn’t it be better for a user can book their rickshaw from anywhere?
Goals
Wanted to design a new rickshaw hailing app that provides a good experience and less complexity to users in Kerala.
Interviews
Conducted semi-structured interviews to find out the pain points of users. By interview, I could empathize with users. I always believe, framing the right questions and intent behind the question should be important before start the Interview
Breakdowns
Here are the pain points got from the interview:
-
Varying rates
-
Security problem for women
-
Non-availability of rickshaws in apps like Uber, Ola, etc (in 2019)
-
No sharing rickshaw feature in Uber, Ola, etc (in 2019)
-
People facing difficulties in reading the language of the app (most people are not comfortable with English)
-
Non-availability of rickshaws in hubs
-
No method to choose rickshaw drivers through review​
Survey
The survey was conducted to quantify the data obtained from interviews. Create survey questions using survey monkey and shared it through social media.

Persona
From user study, the persona has been made for two categories such as a person using apps like Uber, Ola, etc usually and a person without using Uber, Ola, etc and categorized them according to their activities, frustrations, and needs


Customer journey map
I created a journey map for the user not using ridesharing apps and I was able to get the actions, thoughts, and emotions of that user.
