Bus is perhaps the most economical way to travel in a city. However the travelers face a lot of problems in the
process. Some of the problems faced by people who travel in bus is not knowing when the bus will arrive at a particular
stop, not knowing when the bus will reach its destination because of a traffic jam or road repair, not getting a seat in the
bus, not being able to pay with a card etc. According to a recent survey done by a group of students on the problems faced
by bus travelers, 80% of the travelers had no idea which bus to take to reach their destination. But in the era of
SmartPhones a solution can be found to several such problems. And this solution comes in the form of “SmartBus”.
