Basically, most of us depend on the public transportation system for travelling. There are buses made available for passengers, but not many passengers have complete information about these buses. Complete information namely the number of buses that go to the required destination, bus numbers, timings, the routes through which the bus would pass, time taken for the bus to reach etc. are unknown to the public.
Sometimes it becomes a headache to the public to know such details by asking to the strangers, especially women and children are afraid and also ashamed to do so. So they will waste their valuable time by waiting for the bus, when they are uncertain about the bus timings. Lack of appropriate information system for transportation, particularly for passengers who use public transport, specifically buses for commuting is causing lot of anxiety among the commuter. Passengers wait for long time at the bus terminals expecting the bus to arrive as per the schedule.
At present there is no such system in place for the benefit of the passengers who take buses for commuting. It would be good to have such a system like in railway stations which provide information about the arriving and departing trains. We propose a system which shows that it will be a boon for the commuters who often meet with boredom and anxiety without knowing when the buses will arrive.
K BUS is software which will inform about the private bus transport facility in Kanjirapally.
The current system to know the bus timings can be of three types:
- The passengers must en-quire directly
- The passengers must make use of the telephone facility.
- The passengers must wait for their required bus.
K BUS is accessible to the public, openly. Presently there is no system for solving the above said problems, and the proposed system “KBUS” deals with overcoming the problems stated above. Only an administrator can add data into the database. The data can be retrieved easily. This system is easy to use and user friendly for any person having basic knowledge in operating a computer. The data are well protected and makes the data processing very fast and find the bus information quickly according to the destination and time.
- Easily accessible to public
- Provide greater speed and reduced time consumption
- Nearly zero human effort.
