Abstract: The paper based public transport ticketing system, prevailing in mega-cities such as Bengaluru, introduces severe problems and corruption in the system. The project suggests a much more user friendly, automated system of ticketing with the use of RFID based cards. The RFID based cards can be preferred over the conventional system due to low cost, easy operation, portability, durability, reliability and more user friendly to use. In the existing system monthly or yearly passes are issued, which can be easily forged and manipulated thereby corrupting the system. In conventional paper based ticketing system, tickets are being printed and thrown away after traveling, thereby littering the environment. Moreover, large numbers of trees are being destroyed since the current system uses paper based ticketing and the used tickets are just wasted. Therefore by promoting RFID based cards passengers can be encouraged, overtime to shun paper tickets in favour of monthly or yearly RFID based passes issued by the concerned authorities.
