Abstract: People waiting at bus-stops often don’t get any information about the arrival timings of the buses and this creates frustration among them. The proposed system deals with the introduction of a bus arrival time estimating system using RFID technology. This involves scanning a unique code stuck up on the side of the bus facing the bus-stop followed by manipulation and transmission of the data to the next bus-stop. The data is manipulated at the receiving bus-stop and is displayed on an LED display board. This system works by the integration of UHF reader, microcontrollers, wireless transceivers and a display board. This paper has its dominance in developing countries like India where the GPS network is not sufficing the needs of the transport linkage in the country
