Trafikanten.no is a much used travel planner with real-time information and timetables for public transport in East Norway.

The travel planner was in need of an upgrade, partly because the website was difficult to maintain and inaccessible to some users. The challenge was to create a service that would integrate multiple systems, as well as being smooth and user-friendly, at the same time as helping to build Trafikanten’s profile.

Can I go?

On trafikanten.no content and information are prioritised and integrated in a successful way, which makes a solution with complex content simple and easy to use. The information graphics ensure a good overview, readability and appeal. The real-time solution is also innovative because it answers the vital question: Can I go?

The site is very successful aesthetically and highlights important functions with clear colours on an otherwise subdued profile with sombre shades of grey. All choices are made with consideration for making this the best  travel planner possible. The trafikanten.no website is therefore completely focussed on the user, rather than on selling the Trafikanten product.
