Many cities build “smart bus stops” to provide the real time arrival time estimation. However, these smart bus stops consume signify amount of resources to build and to maintain, which result in the difficulty of widely implementation of this kind of bus stops. We believe a more practical way is to provide a pre-generated bus arrival schedule on each bus stop especially in the area where traffic jams are not too serious. We propose a systematic way of generation such arrival time schedule plus several suggestions of adjusting drivers’ behaviors. We test our method on Taichung City and results are promising and proved to be practical.
