Public transportation can be a significant challenge for autistic adolescents, who often face difficulties with navigating complex environments, managing schedules, and interacting with unfamiliar systems. In this short paper, we explore the potential of Virtual Reality (VR) as an intervention to address these challenges. Specifically, we developed a VR simulation of a local S-train station in collaboration with a specialized school, allowing autistic students to practice essential transportation tasks such as checking schedules, purchasing tickets, and navigating platforms in a safe and controlled environment. Our study employed a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-training observations to evaluate the effectiveness of the VR intervention. Results demonstrated improvements in students’ abilities to understand schedules, recognize transportation signs, and manage check-in systems. Post-training observations also revealed increased time spent navigating real train stations, suggesting greater attentiveness and confidence. Despite logistical challenges and the need for more immersive elements, such as handling crowded environments and interacting with ticket inspectors, our findings highlight the promise of VR in preparing autistic adolescents for independent public transportation.
