It is often noticed in the public transportation that the conductors face a lot of problem in collecting the fare from the passengers. Money handling and returning the excess amount to the passengers after deducting the fare amount, inspecting a travel pass becomes complex when the congestion that is the number of passengers are very large in numbers is high and this complexity cannot be managed effectively. Productivity in the urban areas is much dependent on how efficient the transport system is to move a travelling group from multiple origins to multiple destinations. This paper addresses a fare mentioned problem by designing a smart mechanism to handle the fare collection problems. Importance of this smart system helps in enhancing the process and increases the efficiency of fare collection and congestion management. Arduino uno Atmega328P is used to control the subsystem. The system consists of a scanner system to scan the smart cards which can be topped up by the recharge centers and a GPS module to track the distance travelled by the passengers. Thus amount gets deducted from the passenger's smart card for only the distance travelled. This enhances the proper utilization of the resources, reduces time and serves to be economic for the citizens.
