Waiting for the MTC buses for a long time and getting irritated!
This issue would not be there for the passengers hereafter. The MTC buses passengers would feel delighted by this news.
The news is soon MTC buses commuters would be able to track their buses by using their mobile phones through the Locate and Access My Bus or LAMB app. The transport department had mentioned that it would be extending this facility to the entire TN. It must be taken into account that the live tracking of buses has been made available in a third party Chalo app on a trial basis.
It has been brought out by a senior official belonging to MTC that the project`s main aim was to provide passenger information system or PIS using GPS or global positioning system technology for the commuters to access the availability of buses by means of a mobile app. It is now revealed that the app is ready almost with the fixing of GPS in 3200 buses.
The senior official then threw light on how the live tracking of buses is available under the beta version of Chalo app and how when fully completed it would be transferred to the LAMB app.
In the lockdown time in Chennai, the MTC buses were lying idle and GPS equipment had been fixed to all the buses at this time. It is important to mention that under the beta version the accuracy of the arrival time of the buses is being checked and once when the accuracy rate is under one or two minutes then LAMB would be launched.
Under the LAMB mobile app, more than 3500 bus stops and 700 routes have been geo-coded. Truth is that the users could track the arrival of 5 buses with route numbers in real time at any bus stop, locate the bus route and list nearest bus stops.
