摘要: Public transit systems play an important role in combating traffic congestion, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting compact, sustainable urban communities. The usability of public can be significantly enhanced by providing good traveler information systems. We describe OneBusAway, a set tools focused on real-time arrival for Seattle-area bus riders. then present results from survey OneBusAway users that show positive outcomes: strongly increased overall satisfaction with transit, decreased waiting time, trips per week, feelings safety, even health benefit terms distance walked when using transit. Finally, we discuss the design policy implications these plans future research this area.
