transmission (tracking the bus wherever it is at real time)

Economic feasibility- Invested Rs 80 lakhs on GPS technology which

saves them around 1crore on fuel & bus fleet management

controlled through satellites thus the data is very reliable to make traffic diversion decision

Positive response of the conductors as the system dissected the traffic jam easily.

813 E-ticketing-Helps in tracking the total ticket sale in a day which was done manually.

Development of new IT department to handle this system and the drivers were motivated to be a part of this system along with driving.

e-GPS online vehicle tracking and monitoring, e-recruitment computerized smoke emission

tests, issue of student smart cards and Bangalore ID

cards etc It was developed by Arya Omnitalk and

Mobiapps & in part by Amber system. For depot activities Abacus & Kalya

developed software. This task has been outsource to Micro Fx.

Designed on innovative Adobe Flex platform enable user to:

Improved map zoom Smarter vehicle location/identification Updated vehicle information and place

clustering Turn-by-turn directions and route analysis

tools Self-paced online training videos

Initial testing done on 5000 buses, generated vast profit & thus was passed by BMTC to implement on all the 8000 busses.

The events of manual error during

ticketing service was reduced to minimal levels & thus reduced pilferage & harassment by the conductors.

Successful implementation of system throughout BMTC (general buses & Volvos) & was a major hit in organization as well as commuters.

People were happy with the new ticketing system as it was a transparent system.

The maintenances was carried out by Arya Omnitalk and Mobiapps.

The firm which developed it goes through a regular schedule of updating the new routes and the buses into the main system.

The new ticket rates are updated into the ticketing system.
