Abstract
Bus transportation is an important mode of public transportation as it is preferred by many people every day. This mode of transportation plays a huge role in everyday life. But even when so much is dependent of bus transportation, currently there is no system which makes this journey easy and convenient. People face various problems while travelling by bus. Over-Crowded buses and their unpredictable timings make the bus journey very inconvenient. So to provide the bus passengers a convenient way to travel, this system can be used. This system provides crowd information and expected arrival time of the buses to the user’s smart phone. The user can be anywhere and with the help of the mobile application, the user can find out the crowd in the buses, their arrival timings etc. which helps the user to take better decisions. Also other features like nearby bus stops is available in user’s application. This will reduce the inconvenience and provide systematic way to travel.
