Abstract This project developed an Android application to provide users with options on which public transportation routes to use in Juarez City. To make this possible, we went to request information from the various lines of the city to the Transportation Office of the State Government. Subsequently, various tools were developed to support the process of capturing routes, editing, and obtaining intersections between them. The solution consisted of a client-server architecture, where the client is an application for mobile devices, which is used by users, and the server is the application responsible for returning possible routes to customers. We achieve this with the help of Quadtree algorithms to partition the space and thus obtain coordinates of routes near the origin and destination. It results in an efficient manner using Dijkstra for the search of roads using the routes near the beginning and the destination. Finally, to validate its usefulness, a survey was conducted to UACJ students, which consisted of three sections, the first on personal data of the respondent, the second on the use of public transport and the third about the Android application.
