more money on journey. Most of foreign tourists who visit New Zealand do not have basic
knowledge about culture or do not speak english, as a result , tourists get lost even violate
the local law. To ensure each visitor has a enjoyable time in New Zealand, it is very
important to find a way to transfer travel information to them. Consequently, our product
was design for providing those info to tourists and residents who want to travel from North
Island to South Island. To address this issue, we created a new application software of
