The increasing demand for energy is a world concern which has motivated the search for optimized use of available resources.The transportation in North America is dependent on a complex structure which relies on the use of fossil fuels.One way to optimize the consumption of such source of energy is to encourage the use of public transportation.This may be obtained by either an increase in the number of units available or by improving the system that is already in use or by a combination of both approaches.The approach in this thesis is to develop an interactive mechanism to supply a mobile user with current information about the state of the buses for the selected routes.This research paper addresses the use of LBS systems to optimize city bus services.
