The latest news that MTC or metropolitan transport corporation would introduce new buses that would have GPS or global positioning system facility has been spoken in high esteem and it has created huge expectations now.
This GPS facility involves presence of smart cards plus electronic ticketing machines or ETM and they would be a part of Intelligent Transport System or ITS. It is said that these new buses of MTC would have built-in facility for installing the GPS and that is superb piece of news.
It must be noted that in the past GPS were fitted with the buses but these were not properly handled by the passengers and the sensor in the GPS was lost and in the end it was removed from the buses.
It is now revealed by an official belonging to MTC that GPS system is ready to be fitted with the buses as soon as the new buses arrive. He also spoke about how the implementation of Intelligent Transport System would need in-built facilities to support the GPS equipment. This official cleared that buses that are running at the present lack proper facilities.
By this new process travelling would be made easy because the ITS would have GPS linked to an app plus the presence of smart cards and ETM etc would be fabulous for the passengers who use these MTC buses regularly.
Some of the advantages of this GPS are information regarding tracking of the buses, details regarding the bus routes, bus fare plus arrival and departure timings would be got easily. It is said that advanced mobile application would be utilised for this purpose of providing information to the passengers.
MTC officials would be able to keep track on the passengers boarding the buses when ticket gets issued by the conductor as the ETM would get registered in the MTCs system.
