With the generalization of mobile computing devices, everyone can access to a large amount of information anytime and anywhere; the difficulty for the user is to access to the relevant information. This is more accurate in the public transportation field where during their trip users want to reach information on their move. But they also wish to access a whole range of services adapted to their needs. However, these are different for each traveller and evolve during the trip through the so-called experience of time during journeys specific to each individual. Unfortunately, tools or methods to manage these changes do not exist currently. The purpose of this paper is to suggest, by using a model driven approach, to take into account the activity of the travellers; that is to say the experience of time during journeys.
