Abstract
EventStream was designed to help out-of-town attendees of seminars or conferences use public transportation (PT) to travel to and from these meetings. Since the dominant business travel mode is the personal vehicle [2], this would help reduce habitual and inefficient travel in Single Occupant Vehicles. Using recommendations from studies on travel mode choice [4], we designed EventStream to offer customized transit information for this target group. We deliver this information via email, our website, to an iPod, or through Short Message Service (SMS) to a cell phone. Our user studies indicated a willingness to attempt PT use in an unfamiliar town when provided information that supports informed choices.
