Smart Bus Pass System Using Android

Abstract

Over the last few decades, there has been an increase in the use of public transport like social travel (ST). Applying for or renewing a bus pass takes time because of the current bus ticketing system. Passengers have to stand in line at Depo for long time to obtain bus permits. During peak hours, both passengers and staff experience longer delays, which hurts both sides. The Smart Bus Pass System is advantageous to all age groups because it allows for mobile ticket purchasing as well as the application and renewal of bus tickets through Internet. This technology connects to a Database where data is controlled with an Android app that acts as the user's graphical user interface. By doing this, users can be alerted when their bus pass is due to expire and bus delays brought on by ticketing and long queues at bus stops can be avoided. This system minimizes conductors overhead of identifying the person as well as Student overhead of carrying bus pass as information is available in QR code.
