Patent number: 10620010Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a trip planning system configured to provide a user a multi-modal transportation route plans that incorporate public transportation systems and ordered transportation services, which do not run according to a set schedule, but are ordered by a user in advance of use of the service. Examples of ordered transportation services, include taxi-cab services, hired car services and limousine services. A user of the system, which may be referred to hereinafter as the public/ordered trip system (POTS), may receive data and choose to travel on a route that incorporates public transportation and an ordered transportation service, and may place an order to an operator of the ordered transportation service through the trip planning system, obviating the need to directly communicate with operator.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2015Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: MOOVIT APP GLOBAL LTDInventors: Nir Erez, Roy Bick, Yovav Meydad
