In-laboratory interviews were conducted with approximately 50 subjects who used a PC-based transit pre-trip information system prototype. The objectives of the study were: (i) to determine which types of information are more important to the user, (ii) to examine whether an exposure to the information system alters the users' perception of and attitudes toward public transit, and (iii) to assess user receptiveness of such an information system.
