This project presents an IoT-based Smart Bus System with RFID and GSM technology, designed to improve public transportation convenience, safety, and automation. The main controller, an ESP32, manages an RFID ticketing system where passengers swipe their RFID cards to open the bus door, enabled by a servo motor (SM90). After boarding, passengers select their destination using a set of four switches, triggering the system to calculate the fare and send it, along with the GPS coordinates of both start and destination points, directly to the passenger's mobile phone via GSM.The system also includes a Blynk application interface, allowing drivers to control the bus remotely and adjust fare settings based on each stop. A limit switch acts as an accident detection sensor, and in the event of an accident, the system sends an emergency SMS with the bus's GPS location to the relevant authorities. Additionally, an LCD displays real-time data, actions, and fare updates, ensuring transparent communication between the driver and passengers. This integrated approach enhances the efficiency, safety, and user experience of public bus transit systems by combining IoT-based automation and real-time data communication.
