Unfortunately, in many nations, public transportation is difficult for the visually impaired to utilise and access. In the case of buses, for example, the visually impaired have difficulties identifying and calculating the arrival of buses at bus stations. Unlike regular persons who travel alone, blind people require constant guidance. This may have an impact on their ability to function as contributing members of society. Furthermore, the difficulties for the visually impaired to use public transit will isolate them and make it impossible for them to live a normal life. In this research, a solution is presented for public transportation automated fare collection that is not only simple to use but also accessible to those with visual impairments. This system comprises an RFID tag to swipe against an RFID reader installed in the public transport, IR sensors to detect the number of co-passengers traveling along with a passenger, a control unit to record boarding of passenger and using GPS to determine distance and an LCD to show price based on that distance. A speaker is also installed into the system for providing audio instructions to a visually impaired individual for boarding and de-boarding of the transport.
