1. A method of providing position information of a transit object to a computing device, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:

  • periodically receiving global positioning satellite (GPS) information of the transit object, the GPS information including a latitude of the transit object, a longitude of the transit object, and a GPS error amount at a given instance;

    identifying, for each of some of the GPS information, one or more candidate points of a transit system that are within the GPS error amount for that GPS information;

    determining a most likely path of travel of the transit object on the transit system based on the identified one or more candidate points of the transit system;

    extrapolating points along the most likely path of travel; and

    transmitting a set of extrapolated points to the computing device.
