New app helps pregnant women get seats on buses
A London based Tech Company has launched a new application called “Babee on Board” which has a beautiful feature for pregnant women.
The app which uses Bluetooth technology, meaning it can work underground without signal or Wi-Fi can alert bus drivers when a pregnant woman needs a seat in a commercial transport.
All she needs to do is just press the bottom on the app, and it will get across to over 15-foot radius, alerting passengers to the request without them having to look up from their phones.

The beautiful aspect of the app is that it has two sides. One is for expectant mothers with the “Request Seat”.
When the bottom is pressed, it will alert everyone that she needs a seat. Then the “Offer Seat” is there for people who want to give women an opportunity to seat. This application is very essential for all in helping mothers and also for the safety of expectant mothers.
