Public transport systems often face challenges related to reliability and efficiency, leading to inconvenience and uncertainty for passengers. Existing solutions for real-time bus monitoring typically rely on expensive Internet of Things (IoT) components. This paper presents Track N Go, a cost-effective alternative for real-time monitoring of public buses and taxis using mobile phone location data. The system utilizes a robust backend system built with Java and React.Js for the user interface. Integration of GPS via the Map Box API and Firebase database ensures accurate location tracking. Track N Go provides accurate real-time monitoring, addressing challenges associated with public transport and improving overall urban mobility. The system enhances convenience and peace of mind for passengers by delivering reliable and user-centric solutions. The evaluation of Track N Go demonstrates its effectiveness in improving urban mobility and transit services. By offering a reliable and cost-effective solution for real-time bus monitoring, Track N Go aims to streamline daily commutes and make public transport more efficient and predictable.
