Abstract :
We report the overall use patterns for a transit application that features graphical positioning of transit buses in real-time. Its purpose is to provide information to travelers that is not available from static schedules and thereby allow them to make better, informed travel decisions. Busview is accessed via the World Wide Web. Analysis of Web server logs enables judgments to be made concerning user behavior and feature utility.
