Computing apparatus and method for providing transportation information

A method of providing transportation information to a user using a computing apparatus that includes at least one interface and a processor, said method comprising:

• receiving a request for at least one route to an end destination, via the at least one interface;
• providing a plurality of image icons for a plurality of transportation modes, via the at least one interface, for use for the at least one route, wherein each of the plurality of image icons corresponds to a different transportation mode of the plurality of transportation modes;
• receiving an activation of at least two of the plurality of image icons, via the at least one interface, wherein the activation represents that the corresponding at least two of the plurality of transportation modes have been selected;
• transmitting a notification of the selection of at least two of the plurality of transportation modes from the at least one interface to the processor;
• obtaining a plan that includes the at least one route, via the processor, wherein the at least one route includes a combination of the at least two plurality of transportation modes selected;
• and
• transmitting an image representative of the plan from the processor to the at least one interface to enable a user to use the plan to travel to the end destination via the combination of the at least two plurality of transportation modes selected.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, wherein, when executed by at least one processor, the computer-executable instructions cause the at least one processor to:

• receive a signal representative of request for at least one route to an end destination;
• generate a plurality of image icons for a plurality of transportation modes for use for the at least one route, wherein each of the plurality of image icons corresponds to a different transportation mode of the plurality of transportation modes
• transmit the plurality of image icons to at least one interface to enable the presentation of the plurality of image icons to a user;
• receive a notification of a selection of at least two of the plurality of transportation modes, wherein the selection is performed by an activation of the corresponding at least two of the plurality of image icons;
• obtain a plan that includes the at least one route, wherein the at least one route includes a combination of the at least two plurality of transportation modes selected;
• and
• transmit an image representative of the plan to the at least one interface to enable the user to use the plan to travel to the end destination via the combination of the at least two plurality of transportation modes selected.
