Abstract: Many professionals use public transportation for site visits. If there is spare time between site visits, it is desirable for them to find a workspace that is more secure than a coffee shop. Work booths located at train stations meet that need. The system handles the reservation of those work booths based on the customer's schedule and destinations. In a dense public transportation network of a major metropolitan area, there are several routes one can take to travel between two points with only slight delays. Small additional detours may be acceptable if they pass by an available work booth. Unlike a traditional public transportation navigation system, one or more of the described embodiments can check all routes leading past work booths in parallel.
