UX AUDIT Rome2Rio

UX/UI Design
Invision; Adobe Illustrator
Rome2Rio is a searching platform allows users to compare and contrast different transportation methods. Especially useful for Europe where point-to-point transportation comes with sea-land-air options and combinations.
Because of the diversity of searching result, bookings cannot be completed within the app, but at carrier’s website. This lead to a low user stickiness. The redesign aims provide a complete experience from searching to booking within the app to increase overall user experience and loyalty.
