　　Authorities acquire the Advanced Public Transportation Systems as a mean to promote the usage of public transit in many areas. Many cities build “smart bus stops” to assure prompt arrival times, in real time estimations. However, these smart bus stops consume a significant amount of resources to build and to maintain, which result in the difficulty of the general maintenance 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 areas where traffic jams are not too serious. We propose a systematic way of generating such arrival time schedules plus several suggestions of adjusting a drivers’ behaviour. We tested our method on Taichung City; results are promising and proved to be practical.
