The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology announces the names of the winning teams in the Public Transport Application Hackathon - Amman

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology announced the names of the winning teams in the Public Transport Application Development Hackathon, in the presence of supporting entities from ministries, government institutions and civil society organizations.

The first three places were won by: the Mashwari application team, which won the first prize worth 10,000 dinars, the Cyborgs Technology team won the second prize worth 5,000 dinars, and two teams won the third prize, which is Mid or Feed and Robotac, and it is worth 3,000 dinars each.

The hackathon aims to develop an application for public transport services and use it via smartphones, which includes features that facilitate the use of public transport in the Kingdom, by determining the departure and arrival times of buses, their routes and trip plans, and other features that improve public transport services and their schedules. The three winning teams were selected by a specialized jury, formed for this purpose, and included experts from several entities, "government, private sector and civil society organizations".

The Minister of Communications and Information Technology congratulated the three winning teams, and appreciated the efforts of all the teams participating in the "Hackathon", which witnessed continuous activity and work by everyone during its stages, calling on the participating teams to continue working and developing their skills and capabilities, because opportunities are always available to them, and that they are able to make change in all fields.

Minister Al-Gharaibeh said that the experimental launch of the application will be during the first quarter of next year "2019", in Jerash Governorate, to identify the most prominent problems in the experimental implementation process and solve them, and then it will be launched successively in the rest of the governorates of the Kingdom, which will contribute effectively to solving public transportation problems in terms of departure and arrival times, tracking bus routes and determining their locations and other features that users of public transportation bus services may need. He stressed that the idea of ​​launching the "Hackathon" and making it available to Jordanian developers and innovators comes from the government's belief in the energies of Jordanian youth, entrepreneurs and innovators on the one hand, and their ability to harness technology to find appropriate and suitable solutions to contribute to solving public transportation problems on the other hand.

Gharaibeh praised the efforts of the work team at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, the implementer and supervisor of the "Hackathon" activities, and their continuous work and team spirit, which had a direct and effective impact on the success of the "Hackathon" activities in all its stages.

The number of teams participating in the first phase of the Hackathon reached 25 teams of Jordanian developers and innovators, 10 of which qualified for the final stage, and the winning teams in the "Hackathon" were selected by the jury. It is worth noting that the "Hackathon" was launched in partnership between the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Youth, the Land Transport Regulatory Commission, the Greater Amman Municipality, the Crown Prince Foundation, and the Amman Youth Club in partnership with the popular "Together We Arrive" campaign, one of the "Progress" platform campaigns, and the "Transformation" initiative, where the "Our Lines" application was built with previous efforts by "Together We Arrive" volunteers who worked on issuing the first map of transportation lines in Amman, and issuing an application in 2017, and also in partnership with the Jordanian Hashemite Fund for Human Development, the Ana Atalam Foundation, the Jordanian Open Source Association, the Karak Creativity Club, and the Integrated Transport Company, and cooperation was made with the Family Company for Media Artistic Production to prepare promotional videos for the "Hackathon"
