Collective Public transport problem
Necessity

* Lack of information and support for users of collective public transport.

Solution:
Design a system that integrates all the publictransport alternatives and, at the same time, gives users constant information about the service.

Kind of information:
* Position of the buses and estimated time of arrival at bus stop according tothe traffic
• Provide the user different routes alternatives according to the exit point and the arrival point.
• According to the route chosen by the user, give information about which busesmust be taken
* The bus capacity.
* Give the user an estimated price of the complete service.
* Inform the user when it reaches the final destination or, if is necessary, where to takeanother bus. The driver also may have access to this information to know in which stations he must stop.

Note: other kinds of collective public transport such the subways can be included in the systemto provide a more complete service.

Some benefits:
* Encourage the use of public transport and reduce the automobile dependency
* Making public transport friendlier and easier.
*Allows the integration of collective public transport.
