In some implementations, a computing device can present alight notifications to a user when the user (e.g., user device) is approaching a public transit stop where the user should depart the public transit vehicle the user is currently occupying. For example, a user may use a user device to generate a public transit route that includes a starting location, a sequence of public transit stops, and a destination location. While traversing the transit route, the user may need to exit public transit vehicle (e.g., to reach the destination location, to switch transit lines, etc.). The user device can identify transit stops along the route where the user should exit a transit vehicle and present notifications prompting the user to exit the transit vehicle at the upcoming stop as the user device approaches the identified transit stops.

In some implementations, a computing device can present augmented reality (AR) labels in an AR video stream. For example, the computing device can obtain route information for a route requested by a user and can determine locations along the route for placing candidate AR labels. The computing device can determine the precise location of the computing device using camera depth information obtained in response to the user scanning the local real-world environment with a camera of the computing device. The computing device can select an AR label and/or label placement location for presentation in an AR video stream based on various criteria, including the distance between the candidate AR labels and the precise location of the computing device, priorities assigned to each candidate AR label, and/or whether a clear line of sight exists between the precise location of the computing device and the candidate AR label location.
