·Motivation
- Transit route recommendation should suggest not only fast routes but realistic, useful alternatives.
- Users weigh travel time, transfer burden, fare, and walking distance.
- This project evaluates whether recommended route lists are reasonable and practical from the user's perspective.
·Methodology
- Analyze the characteristics of recommended transit routes using mobility data.
- Consider multiple factors — time, cost, and travel burden.
- Evaluate whether the list provides practically meaningful choices, with interpretable criteria applicable to real services.
·Contribution
- Organize user-centered criteria for evaluating transit route recommendations.
- Design an evaluation framework for quantitatively analyzing recommendation quality.
- Provide foundational analysis to support future improvements to real-world mobility services.
