Public transit systems play a crucial role in providing efficient and sustainable transportation options in urban areas. However, these systems face various challenges in meeting commuters' needs. On the other hand, despite the rapid development of Large Language Models (LLMs) worldwide, their integration into transit systems remains relatively unexplored. The objective of this paper is to explore the utilization of LLMs in the public transit system, with a specific focus on improving the customers' experience and transit staff performance. We present a general framework for developing LLM applications in transit systems, wherein the LLM serves as the intermediary for information communication between natural language content and the resources within the database. In this context, the LLM serves a multifaceted role, including understanding users' requirements, retrieving data from the dataset in response to user queries, and tailoring the information to align with the users' specific needs. Three transit LLM applications are presented: Tweet Writer, Trip Advisor, and Policy Navigator. Tweet Writer automates updates to the transit system alerts on social media, Trip Advisor offers customized transit trip suggestions, and Policy Navigator provides clear and personalized answers to policy queries. Leveraging LLMs in these applications enhances seamless communication with their capabilities of understanding and generating human-like languages. With the help of these three LLM transit applications, transit system media personnel can provide system updates more efficiently, and customers can access travel information and policy answers in a more user-friendly manner.
