Abstract

The rapidly aging population causes long waiting times for taking bus pass. Diagnosing record of realtime data of each who are all using bus passes, Bus pass automation would be beneficial for government to implement
proper and better rates for passes and also it would be useful for people who forget to renew their bus passes. Also
taking tickets in an MTC bus is a tedious process now-a-days. Giving exact change for tickets to a large crowd is also
a tedious process for conductors in the buses. In this paper, we propose a facility to take bus tickets and bus passes
using android mobile application. This system provides a facility for taking tickets on the go, by just scanning the QR
code bus conductor and bus depot admin calculate rush in bus . This system also provides a facility to remind when
the bus pass is about to expire. The app is also used to take print out of the ticket, so that it can be shown to the
conductors who are unfamiliar with android phones. The system is also provided with digital wallet where the user
can load money as a whole and use it in each bus the user travels.
