Abstract
- Many people use public transit on a recurring basis to travel for work, school, or other activities. Yet rides can be isolating despite encountering the same people on a regular basis. We designed City Explorer, a city exploration transit game, to provide transit riders with a channel to strengthen the sense of community. In City Explorer, players collect points as they ride public transit. They can complete route-specific challenges and collaborate with other riders to multiply points by riding the same route. Players can also create geo-tagged posts to describe and share community-related information. We share our design requirements, followed by details of game features, and our implementation of City Explorer.
