Abstract

The “Transit Guard” project represents a cutting-edge endeavour aimed at revolutionizing public transportation by implementing ticketless travel on buses and trains and tracking the number of passengers traveling. This project introduces a comprehensive system designed to enhance fare compliance, improve passenger convenience, and to avoid revenue losses due to ticketless traveling. Key components of the project include the development of a user-friendly mobile app for ticket purchase and validation, giving the number of passengers traveling in the bus and at the same time keeping track of how many passengers purchased the ticket through mobile app or offline ticket purchasing for each stop. “Transit Guard” not only curbs revenue losses for transit agencies but also fosters a culture of responsible travel and adherence to transit policies.
