ABSTRACT

In recent years, metro has not only become an important means of public transportation for local people, but also become a window to show a city's appearance and cultural features. In our research, we comprehensively considered the additional services metro passengers may require and designed a mobile system used for providing them value-added services of city metro. The application was designed after functional requirement conducted seriously as four basic function modules (bicycle rental, umbrella rental, book exchange and city information) was ultimately included. Since the city metro’s attribute of cultural carrying and information sharing has not been fully exploited and applied, this study is valuable and practical for the public construction of a city and provided more convenience for citizens.
