Abstract: Efficient transportation plays a vital role in urban development and daily commuting. However, passengers who depend on local bus services often face difficulties due to the uncertainty of bus arrival times and the inability to track the current location of buses. To address this issue, this project proposes the design of a GPS-based real-time local bus tracking system. The main objective of the system is to enhance transparency, reliability, and efficiency in local bus transportation.The proposed system integrates a GPS tracker with a GPS device installed on each bus to monitor real-time geographic coordinates, specifically latitude and longitude. These coordinates are transmitted to a central server through mobile or wireless communication networks. The server processes the received data to determine the exact location of each bus and estimate its expected arrival time (ETA). The processed information is then displayed through a userfriendly interface that allows passengers to view the real-time position of buses on a digital map.The implementation of this system aims to reduce passenger waiting time, improve the reliability of bus services, and support better travel decision-making. By utilising advanced GPS and communication technologies, the proposed solution offers a cost-effective and efficient approach to public transport management. Ultimately, the system contributes to improved passenger satisfaction and supports the development of a more effective urban transportation infrastructure.
