1. A computing system, comprising:
- a processor; and
memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the computing system to;
access metadata corresponding to an organization location identified as a people traffic source, the metadata representing a number of workers at the organization location and working hours of the organization location;
based on the metadata, generate a people traffic value corresponding to people traffic from the people traffic source;
generate a congestion indicator indicative of people traffic congestion on a mass transit system at a plurality of different mass transit stops based on the people traffic value;
obtain a user location of a user and a destination location for the user;
obtain a first mass transit route having a first origination mass transit stop and a destination mass transit stop that corresponds to the destination location;
based on the congestion indicators, the user location, and the destination location, identify a second mass transit route that is different than the first mass transit route and includes an alternative origination mass transit stop for the user; and
determine a commute time impact on a commute time for the user to the destination location based on the user relocating from the user location to the alternative origination mass transit stop to use the second mass transit route; and
generate a control signal to control rendering, to the user, of an indication of;
the alternative origination mass transit stop, anda commute time impact metric indicative of the commute time impact.

Abstract
User location is detected. User traffic at a mass transit stop rear the user location is detected and compared to user traffic at other mass transit stops in close proximity to the first mass transit stop. An alternate stop identifier system is controlled to surface information indicative of a location of an alternate mass transit stop for a user along with a commute time impact metric indicative of how the user'"'"'s commute time will be affected by using the alternate stop.

12. A computer implemented method, comprising:
-
accessing metadata corresponding to an organization location identified as a people traffic source, the metadata representing a number of workers at the organization location and working hours of the organization location; based on the metadata, generating a people traffic value corresponding to people traffic from the people traffic source; generating a congestion indicator indicative of people traffic congestion on a mass transit system at a plurality of different mass transit stops based on the people traffic value; receiving a user location of a user and a destination location for the user; obtaining a mass transit route having; an origination mass transit stop corresponding to the user location, and a destination mass transit stop that corresponds to the destination location; determining a first commute time from the origination mass transit stop to the destination mass transit stop on the mass transit route; based on the congestion indicators, the user location, and the destination location, identifying an alternative origination mass transit stop for the user; determining a second commute time from the alternative origination mass transit stop to the destination location; comparing the first and second commute times to calculate a commute time impact metric indicative of a commute time impact based on the user relocating from the user location to the alternative origination alternative mass transit stop; and generating a control signal to control an output device to render, to the user, the alternative origination mass transit stop and the commute time impact metric. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computing system, comprising:
-
a processor; and memory storing instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the computing system to provide; stop proximity generator logic configured to detect a set of people traffic sources within a proximity of a mass transit stop in a mass transit system, based on a mass transit route; people traffic estimation logic configured to; access metadata corresponding to the set of people traffic sources, the metadata including organization metadata corresponding to an organization location identified as a people traffic source, and representing a number of workers at the organization location and working hours of the organization location; generate a people traffic value corresponding to people traffic from each people traffic source in the set of people traffic sources; stop congestion logic configured to; receive the people traffic values; and based on the people traffic values, generate a plurality of congestion indicators for a plurality of different mass transit stops, each congestion indicator corresponding to one of the mass transit stops and being indicative of an estimated time before a mass transit vehicle, with available passenger capacity, will arrive at the corresponding mass transit stop; stop suggestion logic configured to; obtain a user location and the mass transit route; and identify a suggested origination stop for a user based on the congestion indicators for the plurality of different mass transit stops, the user location and the mass transit route; commute time impact generator logic configured to generate a commute time impact metric indicative of a commute time impact on a commute time for the user based on the user relocating from the user location to the suggested origination stop; and output logic configured to generate a control signal to control rendering of the suggested origination stop and the commute time impact metric.
