4 Abstract: Mobile devices have larger impact in our daily life. The proposed project is concerned with ticketing and identification of the passenger in the public transport service. As seen in various metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore there are various issues and problems related to severe malfunction and security. There are various problems related to public transport like confusion and misunderstanding between the passengers regarding fares, facing the severe problem of traffic jam, having severe security problems in public transport due anti social elements. This proposed project aims to develop a user friendly, interactive automated ticketing system which will deduct the passenger's fare according to the distance travelled as well as detect the passenger's identification. This is only possible by use of Near Field Communication (NFC) cards. The project is developed using NFC technology. This project provides a NFC system that can identify passengers in public transport as well as it does all accounting purpose based on travelling fares. Automated and accurate accounting of bus transport can be used to provide useful estimates of the fare of travelling from one bus stop to another as well as the crowd density can be measured inside the bus, but in case of India measuring crowd density is of no use. Near field Communication (NFC) tags is going to be used in this project. Passenger would carry NFC card with them, when they enter into the bus they have to show the NFC card to the Conductor. The conductor will use NFC based android cell phone to read the NFC tag. Based on the distance travelled the cost would be automatically deducted. Near Field Communication is a wireless technology which allows transmitting data between two devices. NFC commonly integrated within mobile devices. This will allow the device to establish communication with another device sim card. So it can be used as a substitute of wallet in public transportation. Basically NFC has 2 different modes of data transmission:
