Two studies were conducted to access the impact of SmartSAT on the actual bus arrival times and rider’s communte experience. The findings of the arrival times analysis indicated that certain routes exhibited very slow average differences between their actual and schedule arrival times while a couple displayed a big average difference showing significant delayes and deviations from the schedules timetable. The rider experience study found that there is a differential in the feelings of access to the city’s public transit system held by poor, working-class, and Latinx communities in San Antonio. These findings suggest the need for regular minitoring and optimazation of the bus schedules to improve the effieiency and inclusive access to the current transportaiton system.
