Frequency based transit trip characterizations
First Claim
1. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a map application executable by at least one processing unit of a device, the application comprising sets of instructions for:
- identifying a transit route between a starting location and a destination, the transit route comprising a set of transit legs each of which serviced by transit vehicles, each transit vehicle being associated with one of a plurality of transit lines;
categorizing each transit line as one of a high frequency transit line and a low frequency transit line by determining whether transit vehicles of each transit line depart at least once during a predetermined period of time; and
based on the categorization, displaying departure schedules of high frequency transit lines in a frequency of departure format while displaying departure schedules of low frequency transit lines in an absolute time format.

Abstract
Some embodiments provide a map application that identifies a transit route between a starting location and a destination. The transit route, in some embodiments, includes a set of transit legs that each is serviced by transit vehicles of a transit line. The map application of some embodiments, after identifying the transit route, categorizes each transit line of the transit route as one of a high frequency transit line and a low frequency transit line. The map application displays the departure schedules of high frequency transit lines in a first manner, while the map application displays the departure schedules of low frequency transit lines in a second different manner.
