Fig. 01 | Research Plate
Research

Shadowed booking counters during peak travel windows. Observed how agents search routes, hold seats, and recover from payment failures | every edge case became a flow requirement.

Prioritised legibility and thumb reach on mobile. Seat maps, fare breakdowns, and confirmation screens were designed for glanceability under bright sunlight and poor signal.
