The bus mapper is a web based application which enables bus users to get information about the bus transportation system. The bus mapper will provide a feature that will automatically calculate shortest route and display the series of buses one might take to travel from a desired source to a destination and associated estimated time.

We have chosen to go with a web based program, instead of an executable program stored on someone's computer, because of portability. With the program being web based, users can access the information fast and quickly from any computer with internet access, without having to worry about "System Requirements" and if they already have an account, they can just log-in and find out when the next bus they need is coming, using any web enabled computer.

We base many of the concepts used in this phase, on the City of Victoria's current BC Transit bus program.
