In today's fast-paced world, efficient time management is paramount, particularly in the realm of public transportation. Recognizing this need, a smart ticket collection system is proposed as a solution to streamline the traditional bus ticketing process. By leveraging RFID technology, this system aims to enhance both the efficiency of fare collection and the overall passenger experience. RFID cards serve as the linchpin of this innovative approach, enabling swift ticket validation and eliminating the need for manual ticketing processes. Beyond facilitating fare collection, RFID technology also allows for the real-time monitoring of seat availability on buses. This information is seamlessly integrated into passenger-facing interfaces, providing commuters with up-to-date schedules and seat availability status. The system's real-time updates empower passengers to make informed decisions about their travel plans, allowing them to opt for alternative modes of transportation if necessary. By offering continuous updates at bus stops, the system enhances transparency and convenience for passengers, ultimately saving their valuable time and improving overall transit experience. Overall, the smart ticket collection system represents a significant step towards optimizing public transport operations and meeting the evolving needs of modern commuters.
