Barcamp IdeaCampPune

I would like people to discuss an Idea or Problem as you might call it. Every holiday i.e. Diwali, season, there are score of people who go back to their native places. All transport company's are just too busy during that period. One of the busiest place at that time is Shivajinagar bus stand. Pure chaotic. I personally could not get on to bus, though I'd reached bus stop full 20 minutes before time, though I had reserved the ticket.

Imagine an Airport where every minute a plane is taking off, and person has go little idea of which terminal he has to catch his plane on..... This is the kind of problem that I think can be solved and can have impact in general lives of people.

And how do we do it?
With integration of various technologies like GPS/GPRS from tracking of vehicles and their details, fully integrated reservation systems, display systems,

And by introducing some new practices like
1. stopping giving bus tickets inside bus at the time of pick season,
2. current booking while knowing how many seats are vacant half an hour before bus is to come to stop.

This problem might look local from its description, but the same solution can be applied to all the bus terminals across the country...
