So how can we make the future happen

FASTER?

RFID tags switch on when in proximity with a smartphone or GSM phone. So, what if we crowd source that energy?

We can build an RFID network created by the people for the people.

how does it work?

Bus stops are embedded with read-write RFID

Passengers swipe their phone when the bus arrives.

The info is uploaded into the platform.

The data is visualized to keep track of the bus.
