Claim Text:
1. A method of producing a representation of a ground-transportation network from timetable information of transportation services on the ground-transportation network, wherein the timetable information comprises end points and intermediate stop points of the transportation services, the method comprising: determining routing locations from the timetable information by a computer, the routing locations comprising the end points of the transportation services; forming tuples of directly-connected routing locations by the computer, wherein the tuples of the directly-connected routing locations are pairs of routing locations connected by a transportation service with no intermediate routing location where the transportation service stops; and generating network paths by linking the directly-connected routing locations, the entirety of the network paths forming the representation of the ground-transportation network, wherein the network paths are service-oriented and only represent travel opportunities based on the ground-transportation network, wherein generating the network paths comprises forming a graph on a video display by linking all the routing locations with the routing locations to which the routing locations are directly connected, and performing graph traversal to find all the network paths in the graph, and wherein visiting a same routing location twice for the same network path is excluded.
