In the 21st century majority of the human race uses transportation daily to commute to various places. A significant portion of daily hours are spent commuting , hence the transportation system needs to be efficient and effective. Various problems such as an irregular bus schedule and overcrowding are faced by the public transport systems in major cities in India. To overcome these problems a GPS based tracking system and IR sensors based passenger counting system is being used.The proposed system lets the passengers track the bus on a particular route by getting the information sent on their cell phone. The real-time location of the bus is provided along with the approximate count of the number of passengers riding on the bus. This allows the passenger to know the estimated time of arrival(ETA) of the bus and gets the information about whether the bus is crowded or not. This allows the passenger to decide whether to wait or the upcoming bus or would he/she will have to ride the next bus after that. This also leaves them with an option to pursue other means of transport immediately rather than wait for a long period of time waiting for the bus and then deciding otherwise. This reduces the time and effort by a huge portion and makes the journey comfortable.
