VARIABLE BUS STOPS ACROSS A BUS ROUTE IN A REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method of a bus server, comprising:
- analyzing a current geospatial location of a mobile device responsive to a pick up request of a prospective bus passenger;
associating a closest street intersection with the current geospatial location of the mobile device;
determining if a bus route traverses the closest street intersection associated with the current geospatial location of the mobile device; and
communicating a message to the mobile device based on the determination of whether the bus route traverses the closest street intersection associated with the current geospatial location of the mobile device.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method and a system of variable bus stops across a bus route in a regional transportation network, according to one embodiment. A method of a bus server includes analyzing a current geospatial location of a mobile device responsive to a pick up request of a prospective bus passenger, associating a closest street intersection with the current geospatial location of the mobile device, and determining if a bus route traverses the closest street intersection associated with the current geospatial location of the mobile device. A message may be communicated to the mobile device based on the determination of whether the bus route traverses the closest street intersection. A bus associated with the bus route may be instructed to pick up the prospective bus passenger when the bus route traverses the closest street intersection associated with the current geospatial location of the mobile device.
