Embodiments of the present invention provide for the changing/updating of priority levels within a controllable transit system. Specifically, vehicles and/or users thereof will be assigned a particular service level using any number of factors. Based on this service level, as well as any transit criteria specified, a route to a desired destination will be computed. Typically, the higher the service level assigned, the higher the priority that will be given to the particular vehicle/user. Under the present invention, the priority level of a vehicle/user can be changed (e.g., increased) upon request to result in an improved transit time and/or route to the desired destination. Examples of types of requests that may result in an increased priority level (but are not limited to) are: (1) payment of a fee for increased priority level; (2) trading priority levels with other vehicle/users; and (3) bidding in an auction-like environment for an improved priority level; etc.
