THIS IS THE PLACE is a bus transport app for Hong Kong and Singapore. It provides real-time bus arrival information, route planning, and point-to-point routing.

The app also includes route maps for the MTR, light rail, and tram in Hong Kong, as well as the MRT route map in Singapore. It is also a weather app, allowing users to check the weather forecast for any location in the world and mark their favorite cities on a 3D globe. Additionally, it has a location search function, enabling users to find nearby toilets around the world or select one of the following maps for Hong Kong: libraries, cinemas, "parks, zoos & gardens", museums, or children's play rooms. 

THIS IS THE PLACE answers two big questions about bus travel:

You can also search for route numbers directly.

THE IDEA
Using spider radiation technology to achieve the effect of true octopus, it is like sitting on a slide to reach a place directly. Relatively speaking, it is an instant movement that civilians can do. The app is also like an Anywhere Door around you, scanning the places that you can reach directly, to help you explore the world. Radiation map of the bus network.
