Blind people are desperately in need of special requirements when they use public transport like bus, train etc. The main objective of the project is to design and develop a navigational system to ease their travelling and movement of blind people. Some of the conventional methods used by visually impaired people/challenged people to reach their destination are talking sign, guide cans, echolocation etc. The proposed system consists of stick section ,bus section, and android section .According to the proposed idea, user will have a Bluetooth device in their stick section and zigbee module is placed in bus section .The stick section consist of microcontroller which stores all the bus route information of the arriving buses. When the user wants to find a bus, he needs to give his input via phone. Then the microcontroller in the stick section will compare the current information with that of already stored one, if it matches it will inform the user via headset that “the required bus has arrived”. Once user got the information he can safely board the bus using IRDA TX and RX and ultrasonic sensor. This IRDA TX and RX facilitate them to find the correct direction to reach the bus .Additionally ultra sonic sensors will detect if any obstacles present on the way to board the bus
