In some of the embodiments described herein, a vehicle information system
may be used to generate route map information, schedule information,
estimated time of arrival information, or the like based upon location
information received from passenger-carried or cargo-carried wireless
devices, such as passengers' cellular phones. In such circumstances, a
remote device (e.g., a display device at a vehicle station, a
network-connected personal computer, or a cellular phone of a person who
might board a mass transit vehicle) may access the route map information,
schedule information, and other information related to one or more mass
transit vehicles.
