ABSTRACT
Indian cities have become synonymous with congestion. The metropolitans and Tier 1 cities being impacted the most. Our transit foyers are as crowded as our buses and trains. Our bus stops are lying in a state of decay. They are unreliable, inconvenient and uncoordinated. All this has worsened the experience of a commuter. He is troubled with the extreme weather conditions, confused by innumerable bus routes, frustrated by lack of information and lastly, bored by waiting for long hours.
The solution was realized in form of Smart-stop. It is an NFC (Near Field Communication) based interactive kiosk. Interactions in form of swiping/hover-over are used to share and present data through a mobile application.
