Generally, problems are identified as uncertainty in arrival times, no information in real-time, and inefficient communication among organizations in transportation and users. This paper presents an overview of designing and implementing a system for real-time bus tracking using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology with integration into the driver’s smartphone. The system does not utilize an external GPS device to track the movement of the bus but utilizes the GPS sensor in the smartphone. The smartphone application receives real-time geographical coordinates and transmits it to Firebase Realtime Database via the internet. The smartphone application receives real-time data and displays the position of the bus using a graphical user interface and calculates the estimated time of arrival (ETA) to the next stop. The system was tested in real-time conditions and found to be working efficiently with minimal delay. The proposed system can be an efficient solution to be used in real-time conditions in public transportation systems.
