System and method for arranging a meeting time for a commuter with a transit system

摘要

A system and method for arranging a meeting time for a commuter with a transit system is disclosed. The method includes communicating the commuter's travel path, advance notification time, and contact information to the transit system. The commuter is informed via the commuter's contact information of an estimated arrival time for a transit vehicle in the transit system at a selected stop on the commuter's travel path. This enables the commuter to arrive at the selected stop based on the estimated arrival time. A transit vehicle driver is notified when the commuter has arrived at the transit vehicle on the commuter's travel path. The transit driver can then proceed with the commuter on the transit vehicle.
