A system, comprising:

• a processor in a portable device that is personal to a passenger on a public conveyance, wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive route data, wherein the route data is associated with a public transit route, wherein the public conveyance is following the public transit route, and wherein the route data includes information relating to a stop;
• determine a second destination;
• determine a first destination, wherein the first destination is related to the stop, and wherein the first destination is a transfer destination en route to the second destination;
• determine a current location of the portable device;
• display the current location in conjunction with a route map, wherein the route map includes a representation of the route data, and wherein the current location is indicated on the route map;
• determine, based at least in part on the current location, that the portable device has nearly reached the destination;
• responsive to determining that the portable device has nearly reached the destination, provide an alert at the portable device;
• determine a second current location;
• determine that the second current location is related to the second destination;
• and
• provide a second alert;
• and
• a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory provides instructions to the processor.

A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

• determining a second destination;
• determining a first destination, wherein the first destination is related to the stop, and wherein the first destination is a transfer destination en route to the second destination;
• determining a current location of the portable device;
• displaying the current location in conjunction with a route map, wherein the route map includes a representation of the route data, and wherein the current location is indicated on the route map;
• determining, based at least in part on the current location, that the portable device has nearly reached the destination;
• responsive to determining that the portable device has nearly reached the destination, providing an alert at the portable device;
• determining a second current location;
• determining that the second current location is related to the second destination;
• and
