ABSTRACT
Urban communities are becoming more reliant to public transportation. Traffic congestion differs based on the time of day and the route being taken. Thus, making the bus time table unreliable and bus users are wasting time at bus stops waiting for transport to come. This open the users to become prey to crimes because some of the bus stops are in secluded area. The objectives of this study are to design an easy system using suitable interfaces and iconic that fulfill the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and user friendly system that are can used by all ages in this country that using public transportation. Secondly are to develop the appropriate and usable system to facilitate users or passengers that using public transportation daily especially bus. Lastly is to evaluate the effectiveness of this system which are could avoid passengers from missed the bus. The method is being used is WDMS which is require four phases which are user modelling, conceptual design, implementation design and actual implementation. The technologies such as Global Positioning System (GPS), Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM), and Arduino. By the end of this study, it is expected that the developed application can help peoples or bus passenger avoid from missed the bus arrival time. This been done by user or passenger get notification from the bus. The bus will update the latest location to the nearest bus station or bus stand.

CONCLUSION
Bus arrival time and prediction is very vital to passengers, not only at the terminal, but on every bus stop (Abdullah, 2013). Problem arise if the arrival times or departures time of the buses at bus stop cannot be predicted by passengers. Bus stops are the place that familiar to bus passengers. This relationship lead to the bus arrival time at different stop on a route. Inaccurate bus arrival time will affect the schedule designed by the bus management. Bus management design bus operations and produce bus arrival time schedule, however the implementation is depends on bus speed, bus operator, and the traffic conditions on road.
