In modern urban mobility systems, real-time and easily accessible information is crucial for enhancing public transportation efficiency. "MeetRoute" presents a user-centric platform that enables commuters to instantly access comprehensive bus route information and live passenger occupancy through QR code scanning at bus stops. Upon scanning, users are redirected to a mobile-optimized website that displays a list of available bus routes, providing vital details such as bus number, starting and ending points, number of stops, seating capacity, and real-time crowd data captured via onboard cameras. This solution addresses common challenges like uncertainty in travel, overcrowding, and lack of real-time updates. By integrating computer vision technologies with smart web systems, MeetRoute bridges the information gap between commuters and transportation services. This paper discusses the platform's design architecture, implementation methodology, challenges, results, and future directions aimed at creating a sustainable, efficient, and commuter-friendly transportation ecosystem. The research highlights how MeetRoute improves commuter convenience, promotes the adoption of public transportation, and contributes to reduced traffic congestion and environmental impact.
