Abstract

This project presents the design and implementation of "Setram Go", a hybrid mobile application forpurchasing public transport tickets and managing subscriptions in Ouargla, Algeria. During theconception phase, several UML diagrams were used — including use case diagrams, class diagrams,and activity diagrams — to model the system architecture, user interactions, and core functionalities.The application aims to solve problems related to manual ticketing, the absence of electronicpayments, and limited accessibility. Developed using React Native (frontend), Express.js (backend),and MongoDB, the app supports electronic wallet recharge, QR code validation, bilingual interface(Arabic/English), and real-time station mapping. Functional testing confirmed the application's corecapabilities, with future work planned to integrate real payment gateways, offline functionality, and improved security.
