Role

Web and software development, bookkeeping app, ad films and campaign design

Result

Student pre-registrations land on one page; drivers enter their daily trip sheet from their phone, the owner approves it and nothing reaches the ledger before approval. The campaign carried the same voice into film, social media and print.

Work that runs from software to advertising for Altınışık Turizm, a passenger carrier on the Ankara–Kırıkkale line: a pre-registration site where students reserve their seat, a bookkeeping app where drivers enter their trip sheet from their phone, and the films, social media and poster series that carried the campaign.

7 routes

pre-registration with instant fees

4 roles

one app from driver to owner

Nightly

automatic backups on both systems

Problem

Both ends of the student shuttle were scattered. On the student side, demand was spread across WhatsApp groups; who would ride which route, how many days a week and from which stop never came together in one list. On the company side, drivers closed the day with a handwritten trip sheet: trips, passenger counts, obilet and card-terminal commissions, daily expenses and the carried-over balance were spread across spreadsheets, and whether a figure added up only became clear when someone sat down and recalculated it.

Solution

Student shuttle pre-registration site: route and weekly day selection, a monthly fee calculated instantly from the chosen route and boarding point, ready-made stop and faculty lists, a confirmation email to the student and a notification to the company
Registration safeguards: a submission that cannot be written to the database falls into a recovery log and raises a warning in the panel, registrations are filtered by route and exported to Excel, and the database is backed up every night
Separate roles in the bookkeeping app: drivers enter only their own sheet with a phone number and PIN, the office records income and expenses, the owner approves; an unapproved sheet never reaches the ledger
A calculation engine that follows the paper sheet’s own logic: passengers are split into cash, obilet, Visa and shuttle, commissions are deducted with dated rates, and each vehicle’s carried-over balance moves forward on its own
The owner’s daily board: trips where cash does not match the passenger count, missing sheets and records waiting too long for approval are flagged separately
Campaign: two short ad films, Instagram series, launch posts for the student account, A3 posters and print-ready CMYK files; every piece built on the company’s real logo and the vehicle’s real livery

In shuttle and transport companies, going digital rarely starts with a single piece of software; it starts at both ends of the job: where the passenger reserves a seat and the sheet the driver closes the day with. At Altınışık we built both in the same language; students from the pre-registration list were moved into the bookkeeping app as prospective subscribers, and the campaign points to the same pre-registration address. This is our reference for student shuttles, staff shuttles and intercity minibus operators.

FAQ

Is the bookkeeping app an off-the-shelf package? +

No. It was written from Altınışık’s own trip sheet: the trip rows, expense items and carried-over balance on the paper form appear on screen in the same order. Commission rates and ticket prices are stored with effective dates, so changing a rate never alters past records.

What does a driver see in the app? +

Only their own sheet. They sign in with a phone number and a six-digit PIN, pick the vehicle they drove and enter trips and expenses while the app does the totals. At the end of the day they submit the sheet, and nothing is written to the ledger until the owner approves it.

How is student data protected on the pre-registration site? +

Code and secrets sit outside the web root, the form runs with CSRF protection and rate limiting, and database queries are parameterised. A submission that cannot be saved is not lost; it falls into a recovery log and shows up as a warning in the panel. The database is backed up every night, and the privacy notice lists every field that is collected.

Altınışık Turizm is a passenger carrier running daily trips between Ankara and Kırıkkale. When the company opened student shuttle routes for the 2026–2027 academic year, we started in two places: the page where students reserve their seat, and the paper trip sheet drivers fill in to close the day. The same team also took on the visual side of the campaign.

The pre-registration site is live at altinisik.algow.net. Students choose a route and how many days a week they will ride; the monthly fee is calculated instantly from the route and the boarding point, and the Ankara stops and faculties come from ready-made lists. On the company side, registrations are filtered by route in a panel and downloaded as an Excel file. A separate layer guards against lost sign-ups: a submission that cannot be written to the database falls into a recovery log and appears as a warning in the panel, and the database is backed up every night.

The bookkeeping app was written from the company’s own trip sheet. Drivers sign in with their phone number and a six-digit PIN, pick the vehicle they drove and enter trips and expenses in the same order as the paper form, while the app does the totals. The sheet submitted at the end of the day goes to the owner for approval and only reaches the ledger once approved. Passengers on each trip are split into cash, obilet, Visa and shuttle; obilet and card-terminal commissions are deducted with dated rates, and each vehicle’s carried-over balance moves from one day to the next on its own. Trips where cash does not match the passenger count, missing sheets and records waiting too long for approval are flagged separately on the owner’s daily board. The office’s income and expenses, subscribed students and civil servants, and the cash and bank accounts are kept in the same app. The app screens in the gallery below were captured with sample data.

On the campaign side, two short ad films were produced: an announcement film that brings the shuttle questions circulating in student group chats to the screen, and the story of a mother whose phone lights up every morning with the message “Bindim anne.” (“I’m on board, mum.”). Instagram series, launch posts for the student account, A3 posters and print-ready CMYK files carry the same voice, and every piece is built on the company’s real logo and the vehicle’s real livery.
