My dream for pune PMT

I have a dream….Whenever I see anyone waiting for PMT at bus stop I always dream why can’t they get information on where is the bus that they are looking at? Yesterday my architectural mind started thinking about this.

Can’t we place GPS systems in PMT buses? Your mobile operator can know where you are through a small and cheap SIM card. They know latitude and longitude of place wherever you take your mobile. We can place similar devices at bus which will give us current latitude and longitude of bus.

Then comes a nice Google Map. On Googlemap you can draw lines across any road. We can even plot all bus routes on this map. GPS device of each bus will have route no. of that bus. Drive can set correct route number if the GPS device is not having correct route number before leaving. An online system can always tell where the bus is right now and how far from any bus stop present ahead on the route.

Now comes the nice part. Anyone standing on PMT stop can send SMS to a toll free number. Yes, a free SMS with 2-3 destination names on the path that he want to travel. Our online system will get that SMS. It will find current position of all buses going on that route. It will send RTO registration number of 3 buses which are closest to passengers stop with their current location. Wow!! the passenger now knows when his bus will reach at the stop. If there is no bus around, he will come to know about it through SMS. Based on this he can take some decision.

I always dream, what if this becomes possible !!!!!
