Advanced technology has become an integral part of our life. The enhancement of science and technology leads to making life more comfortable than in days. In the world of an ever-growing population, the need for transportation is increasing day by day.

Meanwhile, many people prefer traveling by public bus rather than buying or using their own vehicle as a means of transportation. It would help save a good amount of fuel. It also eliminates the use of paper thus helping in saving trees and fuel contributing to the green city.

Information Technology has influenced various sectors of the global economy, including the transport sector. Growth in e-commerce led to the introduction of electronic ticketing by the public transportation industries.

Bus Ticketing systems for buses either use a website or an application to provide services to passengers. For the development of this system, an analysis of the traditional system is needed. And to overcome its shortcomings, a digital bus pass application is proposed with various features such as pass renewal, pass generation, payment, category-wise pass, editing of passes, etc.

Bus authorities, as well as the passengers, can enjoy the benefits of this digital approach. This new e-pass system is not only advanced but also effective and efficient. The objective of this approach is to automate the payment as well as pass issuing procedures with more safety and security than it was before. The primary key success factor of the digital pass is the interoperability and simplicity of the system from the passenger’s point of view.
