Figure 3.20: User input for bus arrival

Once each submission has been recorded and sent, the list of reports is refreshed to provide

feedback for the newly added information.

3.6.6 Bus route histories

Data that is being collected by the application is also shown in other configurations. In this feature, users can view a historical ‘profile’ of the behaviour of certain buses. While recent reports can be

useful in the short term, this information was intended to be used for making travel decisions in the

long-term. First, a series of rankings for each bus in Sydney was aggregated under three categories - (1) Fullness (2) Lateness and (3) Bus arrival (or lack thereof).

There is more information available at

our fingertips during a walk in the

woods than in any computer system,

yet people find a walk among trees

relaxing and computers

frustrating.
