| Summary: | Bus transport is one of the important public transports in the city and a fixed-route bus is identified as the best and cheap sense to move around the city. Time is essential for daily public transport clients. In Malaysia, bus route applications and systems are still unplanned and bus schedules are hardly reached. Time is taken for route deviations and unwanted stops. This paper presents a mobile application that designs a monitoring bus tracking system and reduces passenger waiting time. The application is also able to count the problem of route deviations and unwanted stops by the bus driver. Global Positioning System (GPS) was built to locate the bus and RFID is used for bus identification. Bus information is stored in a cloud server with online access. Internet of things and with the mobile system was designed by using two ESP8266 Wi-Fi modules that separated the GPS and functions of sensors. GPS Neo-6m was used to track the bus route. RFID MFRC522 was used to send messages to bus users via online Blynk mobile Apps. The result presents a prototype of a mobile application. Testing of three locations of GPS latitude and longitude for bus A, B, and C were analyzed that presents 0 to 5 passengers on board. Passenger counter identification used two IR sensors to detect passengers going in and out of the bus. A combination of Internet of Things (IoT), GPS, and RFID is designed to track and monitor the bus. This project is essential where the GPS and RFID help both bus drivers and passengers save and planned their time where the system is easily accessed via internet connection. © 2022 IEEE.
