Abstract
Unusual and unexpected conditions on the roads affect the smooth operation of the bus system and the movement of vehicles. Also, everyday problems such as traffic congestion, unexpected delays, randomness in student demand, irregular bus dispatching times take place and as a result of which the schedule of the students are affected and they inevitably have to wait for the arrival of their respective bus. This student inconvenience can be avoided by introducing a system which provides real-time information about the location of the buses. EASY BUS is an interactive application that makes the process of availing college bus easy and feasible. The common problems faced by bus students are whether their bus will reach the stop on time or did it already pass by, or even if the bus is operating that day or not. This app solves these problems in an elegant and efficient manner. In order to make the best use of this, students need to install this app and ensure that they renew their bus passes regularly. This app has two prominent features namely, GPS tracking of the bus location and virtual bus pass. Location of the bus is tracked by the sensor for every thirty seconds and this recorded information is sent to the server which in turn is displayed on the map to the user (student). The next facility provided by the app is bus pass facility, where they can create a new pass, or renew the pass they are currently using, either of which would be charged through online payment methods.
