Bangalore is home to a commuter population of over 38 lakhs of which 46% uses

BMTC buses on a daily basis. Most of them have no idea about the schedule

followed by BMTC resulting in long waits in bus stands and consequently lesser

usage of public transport.

According to the business model, if one customer sends two SMSs a day, the

revenue earned will be to Rs. 8 lakhs per month. The service envisages the usage

location data from GPS to inform the commuters about bus locations, as he sends

as SMS query with the route number. The server processes the request, receives

information from the GPS device fitted in the bus and sends back an SMS

indicating the current location of the bus. The project is now in process of

being installed in the public transport departments of Indore and Kolkata.
