This paper presents the application design and development of a bus tracking and planning system that involves mobile application development, database and network communications. This system is specifically designed for a public transportation bus system similar to the CTfastrak. The developed system includes three modules, namely the bus-side application, server-side database and client-side mobile application. Network communication enables the interactions between the bus-side, server-side and client-side modules. The objective is two-fold: to provide the bus clients more convenience with bus schedules, real-time bus location and delay information so they can plan trips accordingly, and to provide useful information to the transportation center for management purpose. The developed system has been tested and demonstrated successfully. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
