Markup language for designing layout of bus timetables

Route bus system is the fundamental transportation device for aged people and students, and has an important role in every province. However, passengers decrease year by year, therefore the authors have developed the system called “BusNet” that has the major function for the shortest path searching as a web application to sustain the public transports. In BusNet, a function to print bus timetables is provided. Timetables of various layouts are wanted to create by this function. However, because old bus timetables are created by using TEX, it is difficult to design layout of bus timetables. Then, a markup language to design various layouts of bus timetable easily is proposed and it is applied to Bus-Net in this study.
