Abstract :
This article explores existing public transport systems and looks at ways to improve them with the help of computer technologies. Furthermore, this investigation aims to provide solutions, which makes the use of public transport more attractive using means of universal devices. Also, this article investigates the problems of traffic jams and congested roads in large cities, as they are the cause of stress, loss of personal time and, most significantly, allegedly the biggest contributor to the climate crisis. The main cause is the excessive private car use by people who live in large cities. One of the useful and interesting inventions in the field of public transport is the development of electronic ticketing, which tend to motivate people forgo from private transport. The goal of the electronic ticketing system for public transport is to ease and quicken the process of purchasing tickets, create better information flow about travel and reduce non-paying passengers.
