Abstract - This paper presents the implementation of a smart bus fare payment system utilizing Near Field Communication (NFC) and cloud-based technologies to deliver a secure, efficient, and user-friendly transit experience. The system is developed as an Android application with distinct modules for Admin, Conductor, and User roles. The admin interface facilitates route management, fare structuring, user and conductor administration. Conductors are provided with real- time dashboards to manage bookings, monitor passenger counts, and view trip histories. Users can recharge their wallets, access NFC-based payment functionality, view timetables, save favorite routes, and get real-time bus location updates.

The system leverages Firebase for cloud storage, real-time database operations, user authentication, and seamless connectivity across all modules. NFC embedded enables contactless fare transactions, enhancing security and reducing dependency on physical currency. Additionally, features like feedback, helpline access, and transaction history improve transparency and user satisfaction.

This paper demonstrates increased operational efficiency, enhanced passenger convenience, and reduced revenue leakage. By integrating modern technologies into the fare collection system, the project lays a practical foundation for scalable, secure, and sustainable smart transportation infrastructure.
