Making better transit

planning decisions with

smart card info.:• mode

• departure date and

time

• boarding time

• number in a party

• boarding fare

• alighting fare

• travel distance

• arrival date and time

Social Media in Other Cities

New Jersey Transit

2014 surveys via

Facebook and Twitter:

#1 concern of

passengers…?

Customer Servicetraining refreshers

Over Capacity

…mitigate and diverge via an

app

…provide real-time data with

an app

App Users

possible untapped resource

Location-Based Application Trends

74% get directions or other information based on their current

location

30% say that at least one of their social media accounts is

currently set up to include their location in their posts

20% get up-to-the-minute traffic or public transit info. to find the

fastest way to get somewhere

Findings on Transit Apps Apps can be broken into three categories

A static map, timetable, and status information

Prototype of the proposed application

We would like to thank the CCNY faculty and staff for their continued support and encouragement: Dr.

Robert Paaswell, our capstone supervisor; Professor Alan Feigenberg; the program director, and Mr.

George Smith the program coordinator; we offer our sincere appreciation for the learning

opportunities. We are thankful for their aspiring guidance, invaluably constructive criticism, friendly

advice during the project work, and are sincerely grateful to them for sharing their truthful and

illuminating views on a number of issues related to the project.

Our completion of this project could not have been accomplished without the support of our significant

others and families– thank you for allowing us time away from you to research and write.
