GPS, app for Roadways buses soon

GPS, app for Roadways buses soon
The GPS installed by Haryana Roadways in its buses will be used to develop a bus service mobile application.

 The GPS installed by Haryana Roadways in its buses will be used to develop a bus service mobile application. The app, that will be available for download on all smartphones, will provide information about Roadways buses like the estimated time of arrival, time of departure from depot and the exact location of the bus at any given point of time.

The GPS system will be integrated with clocks that are to be installed on all 120 bus queue shelters that are likely to come up in the city in a month or two.

The overall cost to develop the software will be around Rs 2-3 lakh, said Rohit Yadav, general manager of Haryana Roadways. "The integration of software will be done by the same company that has installed the GPS system in the buses," he added.

Commuters will also be able to file formal complaints of speeding and misbehaviour by drivers and conductors through an SMS that will be automatically sent to the Haryana Roadways system.

"We expect the entire project to be over by January 15-20 when the commuters in Gurgaon will be able to check the expected time of arrival of a particular bus at any bus stop," said Yadav.
