1. A computer-implemented method in an electronic device of facilitating transportation, the method comprising:

  • identifying a location of the electronic device;

    determining, based on the location of the electronic device, that the electronic device is located in proximity to a venue of a certain type;

    accessing movement data associated with a user of the electronic device from at least one sensor of the electronic device;

    retrieving, from a server remote from the electronic device via a network connection, a walking profile indicative of a normal gait of the user;

    determining, from the movement data, a current gait of the user;

    determining that the current gait of the user deviates from the normal gait of the user indicated in the walking profile;

    in response to determining that the current gait deviates from the normal gait, generating a message indicating an availability of alternative transportation; and

    displaying the message in a user interface of the electronic device of the user.
