Starting with Curtin University in Western Australia, OTTO delivers live bus tracking, simple point-of-interest searching, as well as detailed campus maps for students, staff and visitors.
OTTO will soon expand to campuses around Australia and the world, with added functionality including campus-to-student alerts, and the ability to share your location with friends when you’re on campus - but only if you want to!

Love products for students. What inspired you to come up with the idea?
@tony_xiao It was actually staff at our first supported campus, that of Curtin University, who approached us to solve a number of transport, wayfinding and communication problems for them and their students. It just so happens that many campuses share at least some of those same problems.

@jamieskella@tony_xiao That's a good way to make sure you are building something people want, they come to you and ask for it :)
We've just sent a huge Otto update live for iPhone!
Now you can create a profile and build a friends list. If you want, you can even let friends see your location when you're on campus.
We also now support every university campus in WA:
- Curtin University
- The University of Western Australia
- Murdoch University
- University of Notre Dame Australia
Edith Cowan University will arrive this week to complete the set!
