TransitLive: Metropolitan Seat Capacity Tracker

Design a system for a metropolitan transit authority that provides real-time seat availability for a fleet of 5,000 buses. Users should be able to see on a map how many seats are free on any bus currently in service. Historical data should also be available for the transit authority to analyze peak-hour trends.
