Abstract
The present invention is directed to a unified address enhanced locator system and method for determining commuter information, which utilizes an assigned portable address code permitting individuals to physically locate a home, building, business, landmarks, edifices, and/or set meeting points as well as obtain directions to a geographical location, in townships, neighborhoods, municipalities, cities and/or countries that may or may not employ a formal address scheme using street naming conventions and building numbers. An address code may be assigned to bus stops, taxi stations and railroad terminals and/or any other public transportation stations, such that a requestor may use the unified address enhanced locator system and method to obtain commuter information for a mode of public transportation and to plan his/her commute accordingly.
