Subject: [sustran] Assistance wanted - Public Transport websites


[Reposted, - apologies for any duplication, but I fear the previous
post from a diffeent address may have bounced.]

I am looking for recommendations for good urban Public Transport
websites, to pass on to Microsoft (UAE) who may be designing one for
our undertaking. For the record, Dubai Municipality Public Transport
Department runs around 200 buses in a city of 800,000 plus
inhabitants, mainly catering for the South Asian expatriate community.
A lot of these will not have Internet access, but we are starting the
task of attracting optional riders, including tourists.

I know there are lots of websites out there, and have no doubt found
some good ones myself in the past and promptly forgotten them. What we
have in mind is a user-friendy site with an effective interactive
journey planner ("I want to go from A to B at hh:mm today/Friday
/whatever, and I would prefer lowest fare/ quickest journey/ least
interchanges" sort of thing), and probably a useful map or two. Those
are the difficult bits to get right - the words are easy!
