The transport information system includes a profile server (1) enabling a traveller to activate a profile relating to their journey, in order to be able to notify another person of their progress. Communication gateways transmit information to interested parties as the journey unfolds. The system for providing information about a transport system includes a profile server (1) enabling a traveller to activate a profile containing a set of rules defining details of their journey, in order to be able to notify another person of their progress. A profile database (3) holds all profiles activated by the profile server. An event tracking module (4) detects the events relevant to the journey. A notification server (5) executes the rules of the profile when relevant events have been detected by the tracking module. A number of communication gateways for voice, fax, text message etc (6,7,8,9,10) are linked to the notification server in order to transmit information to interested parties as the journey unfolds.
