Abstract—Today, nearly all electronic public transport fare collection systems are using contactless IC cards for payment. Payment procedure can not be done without these cards. Generally, all cities have different and independent cards that do not suit to each other. People who want to use public transportation have to get new cards for each city and find charge points for charging cards. In our study, a public transport fare collection system was developed with using NFC which is embedded inside of Android smart phones. Thus, usage of contactless IC cards will not be necessary and there will be easy online credit charge option. An Android operating system based smart phone application was developed for public transportation clients.
