A detailed information database management system for routing patrons accurately within the limits of a jurisdiction from a point of origin to a point of destination. The system utilizes a comprehensive database having all public transportation routes crosslinked with all points of interest or waypoints, business addresses, entertainment locations, etc. within the jurisdiction. The system provides any transportation official, such as dispatcher, area supervisor, driver, etc., immediate access to the database via a computer. All forms of computers are engaged in accessing the database information. Examples of such are desktop computers and network server computers, as well as an array of portable computers, such as, but not limited to, laptops, palm tops, and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The information contained in the database is compiled in a user friendly format, and is accessible via several software applications. Typically, a patron inquires to a bus operator as to which route must be taken for the instant point of origin to a destination point. The bus operator accesses the database via a PDA and surrenders the information to the patron. Alternatively, the bus operator may communicate with a base station dispatcher or a roving area supervisor and gain the information via a radio link.
