Abstract: A method for providing intelligent ticket suggestions using a transaction device for transit fare purchases includes receiving an input from a fare media. The input includes an identifier associated with a user of the fare media. The input is communicated to a data store to identify a usage history and a purchase history for the user of the fare media. The usage history and purchase history are associated with the user of the fare media based on the identifier. The usage history and the purchase history for the user are received from the data store and a geographically closest transit stop relative to the transaction device is determined. Transit timetables and transit products available for purchase based on the geographically closest transit stop are identified. Transit product suggestions are generated based on one or more of the usage history, purchase history, transit timetables, or transit fares available for purchase.

Abstract: A method for producing an itinerary may include receiving a request for an itinerary from a remote device. The request includes points of interest to be included in the itinerary and a time or time range. The method includes communicating with remote systems to obtain information related to the points of interest. An itinerary is produced that includes the points of interest and is organized based on the information and the time. A suggested transit route is provided having directions to the points of interest. The itinerary may be provided to the remote device. A subsequent itinerary may be produced based on the information. Data from a plurality of itineraries is aggregated and includes a date of a visit, a time of the visit, or an estimated number of people for the visit. A portion of the data may be provided to a point of interest.
