Resumen

For many years, there have been different means of transportation, such as cars, motorcycles, streetcars, trains, etc. Thus, this denotes that public transportation has become one of the most used by the public. However, despite the implementation of public transport systems, it has not been possible to cope with the high demand, nor to solve the issue of the uncertainty of users with respect to the time of arrival of the same. However, some technologies allow obtaining information on the location of the buses and the subsequent calculation of their arrival time at the bus stops. Taking into account that users need to know the arrival time of the buses to the bus stops since this will allow them to determine their daily activities to be carried out accurately. In this sense, a mobile application has been developed to determine the location of the bus stops, show the buses that are close to this stop, determine the time of arrival of the bus, and the respective notification to the users at the time of arrival of the bus. The result is a mobile application that allows users to see the location of near-by bus stops, visualization of the buses in route to the bus stops, the determination of the arrival time of the buses, and the respective notification of the arrival of the buses at the bus stops of interest to the user; which helps users to organize their daily activities correctly.
